How do we create a better and cleaner future? How can we harness new technologies to help us find solutions to the global chellenges we face?

Researchers at Glasgow are working to answer these questions. 

The future is now

We are exploring the digital control of chemical reactions using robotic systems, allowing us to investigate complex chemical processes. This approach can not only enhance the efficiency with which we can discover novel chemistry, but also promises to rewrite the rules of chemical synthesis.

Our research will impact the quality of life and life expectancy by developing advanced healthcare technologies. We will develop diagnostic tools and novel stem-cell based engineering solutions to target disease before symptoms are evident and so too late for effective treatment.

Future life integrates groups from complex chemical systems, biomaterials and stem cell engineering, neuroscience, psychology and medical technologies. Working together to improve our world.
