Our School has excellent facilities for lab, field and farm-based research, including aquaria, aviaries and laboratories for conducting analyses in bioinformatics, cellular physiology, developmental biology, evolutionary biology, endocrinology, molecular ecology and physiological ecology.
Research at SCENE
SCENE’s natural environment and facilities enable researchers to contribute to the fundamental understanding of biological processes, to address pressing scientific questions like environmental change, and to promote knowledge for reconciling conservation with human use of natural resources.
