Zoology in Cambridge is a large, multi-disciplinary Department whose members conduct research and teaching in areas ranging from molecular biology to behavioural ecology, evolutionary palaeobiology and conservation science. It has consistently received the highest HEFCE research ratings. The Department has critical mass in seven research groups – animal physiology, behavioural ecology, cell biology, developmental biology, ecology and conservation science, evolution and diversity, and neurobiology – though the work frequently cuts across these areas and involves close collaboration with other departments and organisations. For example the Department was instrumental in establishing the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, which draws together five other departments (Plant Sciences, Geography, Land Economy, the Judge Business School, and the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership) as well as ~400 conservation professionals from 9 leading NGOs and intergovernmental organisations. Other examples include the University’s Strategic Initiatives on Global Food Security, Infectious Diseases and Neuroscience.
