Postgraduate Opportunities

Genomics-related science is an area of rapid change in the creation of knowledge and its application in new products and processes. 

At Innogen, we research 'the cutting edge' – where science is taking us and how technology is being shaped – in order to deliver a sound evidence base for decision-making.

Thirteen doctoral students have graduated since Innogen was founded in 2002 and the centre continues to have a thriving student community in both the University of Edinburgh and the Open University.

In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, the department was ranked joint 4th nationally and The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) noted in their feedback that: "Internationally excellent and world-leading outputs were identified across the diversity of research themes, and especially evident in the research theme 'Science, Technology, Innovation and Development'"
