We've built a major centre for evolution, named after Dr Jonathan Milner who donated £5 million towards its establishment.
The Milner Centre has three core objectives: to ask the big evolutionary questions, to find new technological and clinical research applications, and to take evolutionary research into the community.
We are based in a multi-million-pound centre on campus which opened in September 2018.
