Cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research and teaching in the biological sciences at the University of Liverpool. #TeamLivUni 💻 liverpool.ac.uk/systems-molecular-and-integrative-biology
New research from @liverpooluni.bsky.social, Liverpool Clinical Laboratories (LCL), and @camo-net.bsky.social sheds light on how antibiotic resistance develops and help doctors make more informed decisions about when and where specific antibiotics should be used. 🔗 s.liv.ac.uk/1112 #TeamLivUni
We've been awarded nearly £2 million from the BBSRC ALERT programme to invest in cutting-edge research technology. The new equipment for @livuni-livsrf.bsky.social will enhance multi-omics research and help drive future discoveries in the life sciences. 🔗 s.liv.ac.uk/1108 #TeamLivUni
ICYMI | Our researchers have identified a surprising new role for SYCP1, a protein normally active only in reproductive cells. The study in Science Advances reveals that SYCP1 switches from its normal reproductive role to an entirely different function in cancer. 🔗 s.liv.ac.uk/1093 #TeamLivUni
We recently welcomed genetic epidemiology researchers for the 2026 Summer Meeting of the North of England Genetic Epidemiology Group (NEGEG), showcasing fantastic research and collaborations, from mental health genetics to Alzheimer's disease. 🔗 bit.ly/3RrrnH1 #Epidemiology | #TeamLivUni
A University of Liverpool-led research team has secured over £475,000 in funding from Blood Cancer UK to continue and expand the UNCOVER programme, one of the world’s largest blood cancer data research initiatives. 🔗 bit.ly/4a1EJjw #TeamLivUni

@bowelresearchuk.bsky.social @livuni-ismib.bsky.social thank you for supporting our research
Last year, Bowel Research UK awarded its first funding round focused on gut microbiome research. 🔬 One year on, Ahsan Javed tells us how his project is progressing. His work will help us understand how the gut microbiome affects the response bowel cancer patients have to treatment and recovery.
Exciting day handing over 145 phage samples collected by our Year 2 Biosciences Undergraduates @livuni-ismib.bsky.social for screening by @cf-trailfinder.bsky.social director Prof Jo Fothergill’s team. This work represents 4 years of development with students as partners in #Curriculum2027
From dirt to discovery! In our latest blog, Dr Rachel Floyd and Dr Amy Wedley discuss how research-connected teaching can build the skills, confidence and scientific curiosity the next generation of bioscientists need. 🔗 bit.ly/43avzwV #TeamLivUni
Our researchers have published a new prescribing guideline aimed at reducing incidence of serious allergic reactions to common anti-seizure medications. 🔗 bit.ly/4u6G2Fv @liverpooluni.bsky.social | #epilepsy | #TeamLivUni
We’re proud to celebrate their achievement while also recognising the dedication & impact of all those nominated across the university 👏
