Research centres and institutes

University College London

The Faculty is closely involved with the following research centres and institutes:[4]

  • UCL Centre for Materials Research
  • UCL Centre for Mathematics and Physics in the Life Sciences and Experimental Biology (CoMPLEX)
  • Centre for Planetary Science at UCL/Birkbeck
  • UCL Institute of Origins
  • UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction
  • The Thomas Young Centre

CoMPLEX

CoMPLEX (Centre for Mathematics and Physics in the Life Sciences and Experimental Biology) is an inter-disciplinary virtual centre at University College London that seeks to bring together mathematicians, physical scientists, computer scientists and engineers upon the problems posed by complexity in biology and biomedicine. The centre works with 29 departments and Institutes across UCL. It has a MRes/PhD program that requires that its students also belong to at least one of these Departments/Institutes.

The centre is based in the Physics Building on the UCL main campus.
