The strength of the Biophysical Sciences Institute stems from our vibrant community of interdisciplinary academics. This network of engaged and supportive researchers ranges from PhD students to senior professors, covering many scientific and engineering interests; our knowledge and experience spans the breadth of academia.
Our Executive Board supports the leadership team by meeting at least once a term to discuss the Institute’s operational and research activities. They assist with the overall strategy and day-to-day running of the BSI. We also have an External Advisory Board, with members from academia and industry, who meet once a year to support the Executive Board in honing and delivering the BSI strategy.
More than 60 members of Durham’s academic community form our academic network. Click on each person's profile to learn more about our spectrum of interests and research areas.
