How Humans Have Shaped Evolution
Genomes are vast biological archives, recording millions to billions of DNA letters that encode how organisms function, adapt, and evolve. At SBBS, researchers are reading these genetic blueprints to understand not only how species evolved naturally, but how human activity has fundamentally redirected their evolutionary paths

Building Skills for the Future of Genomics
From understanding how genes work to analysing vast genomic datasets, modern biology increasingly relies on the ability to interpret DNA. At SBBS, genomics forms a key part of our teaching, giving students the opportunity to explore both the biological foundations of genomes and the computational tools needed to study them.

Genomic tools to study the rules of life and disease development at high Resolution
Genomics is transforming how we study life at its most fundamental level. By analysing DNA and its regulation in unprecedented detail, researchers can uncover how cells behave, how diseases emerge, and how treatments might be tailored to individuals. From single-cell technologies to advanced computational methods, genomics is opening new frontiers in both biological research and medicine.
