Our Liverpool Shared Research Facilities (LIV-SRF) are sector-leading with priority capabilities in bioimaging, multiomics and bioresources. In linking with NHS and industry partners, we're maximising our expertise and infrastructure, driving research impact and outcomes.
Key aims
Multiomics
High throughput discovery ‘omics has revolutionised the way that biologists, environmentalists and clinicians (human and animal) understand the systems that they are working with. These technologies have proven indispensable for both hypothesis generation and validation, exploration of physiological and pathological mechanisms, and the discovery and screening for markers of disease. Our multiple technical Centres of Excellence drive advances in the generation and analysis of genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome level data, along with data fusion within the Computational Biology Facility.
Data science
From understanding biological mechanisms to developing and evaluating new interventions and managing population health, AIs can speed up and enhance our work. We're building on our existing strengths in data science research, platforms and capabilities to harness the pace and scale of AI developments. Key to this is workforce development, including our innovative Research Technical Professional career pathway, alongside our research portfolio that integrates data science, and a field-leading civic data partnership that drives research, planning and care delivery from an integrated platform.
