Research and Innovation
Our goal is to establish the School as a leading European centre for integrative biology, exploring and understanding the processes that drive change from evolutionary, environmental and social perspectives and at levels ranging from the molecular and genetic to individual, ecosystem and landscape. The School provides integrated science to underpin environmental policy and sustainable management and in support of industries that depend on natural resources, including agriculture, horticulture, forestry and freshwater and marine fisheries.
Our research focuses on four interlinked thematic areas:
- Ecosystems, Global Change and Sustainability
- Evolution and Population Biology
- Plant Sciences
- Cell and Molecular Biology
Multidisciplinary collaboration, both within and beyond the school, is a key to the success and impact of its research programmes.
Each year we publish a wide range of scientific articles, popular articles, books and policy documents. Click here to view list of publications. We have also enjoyed success in the innovation and commercialisation of several aspects of our research.
These pages are maintained by the SBES Research and Innovation Commiteee. Members of the school can access minutes of the meetings and other relevant documents on the SBES Group Pages via UCD Connect. Contact Susan Wilson at susan.wilson@ucd.ie for further details of any material in these pages.
