Centre for Synthetic Biology and Bioexploitation

The CSBB is based on world-class expertise across all Newcastle University's faculties - Medical Sciences, Science, Agriculture and Engineering and Humanities Arts and Social Sciences. Newcastle University is one of five UK universities in the Flowers Consortium that is developing a UK infrastructure for Synthetic Biology (funded by the EPSRC). Our centre also leads the UK networks on synthetic biology, SynBioNT and is heavily involved in standards development through the SynBioStandards network. These two UK-funded networks collect hundreds of national and international collaborators and constitute an invaluable pool of expertise.

School of Architecture Planning & Landscape

The School is one of the largest and most dynamic schools of its kind in Europe. We are one of the few academic schools in the UK focusing exclusively on the built environment. The broad emphasis of the School is on making and sustaining places which enhance the quality of life for present and future generations. From our analytical work on understanding contemporary places and place-making to our wide-ranging teaching in planning and design, the School forges new approaches to creating exciting synergies between education, practice and policy-making in the promotion of social cohesion, environmental sustainability and economic development.
