The Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB) is a research institute of the University of Manchester which has been designed to enable academic communities to explore specific areas of interdisciplinary quantitative bioscience, largely through the efforts of multidisciplinary research teams. The main areas of research undertaken at the institute are: Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, Bionanoscience/engineering, Self-Assembling Systems, Biocatalysis, Systems biology, Technology and Instrumentation Development.

Excerpt from the MIB official website (with kind permission of MIB webmaster) "The overall research mission of the MIB is challenge– as opposed to discipline-led, and focuses on developing an understanding, underpinned as far as possible by quantitative theory and mathematical rigour, of the properties of biomolecular and cellular components which impart characteristics that we associate with living systems. Some of these properties can be described as “emergent”, in that they represent (currently often unpredictable) consequences of higher-order organisation and networking. Allied with this investigative strategy is the development of novel enabling technologies." Professor John McCarthy, Director.

Planning for the institute began late in 1998 and culminated with the official opening on October 25th 2006.
