CoMPLEX is UCL's centre for interdisciplinary science

CoMPLEX brings life and medical scientists together with mathematicians, physical scientists, computer scientists and engineers to tackle the challenges arising from complexity in biology and medicine.

Background

CoMPLEX is the first truly inter-disciplinary centre of its kind in the UK. It provides a forum for inter-disciplinary teaching and research that is unique within the UK scientific community. There are now more than 125 members spread across 25 UCL departments, with collaborative projects where biologists and physical scientists are tackling problems of common interest.

Launched in 1998 as a virtual centre, CoMPLEX now operates from new offices at Wolfson House (Wolfson House map ), close to the main UCL site. This provides an active and intellectually stimulating environment for students on the CoMPLEX PhD program, for inter-disciplinary seminars and workshops and for research project meetings.

In 2003 CoMPLEX was awarded funding by the EPSRC for the Doctoral Training Centre as part of the EPSRC's Life Sciences Interface Programme. This funding, with further funding from the MRC and UCL currently enables CoMPLEX to fund 14 students per year on the CoMPLEX 4 year PhD programme. Eight Doctoral Training Centres are funded by the EPSRC.
