Organisation Outline:
School of Biomedical & Molecular Sciences

The Microbial Physiology and Ecology Research Team has research interests in Ecosystem function and Biosensors. A growing interest is developing in ecosystem
function related to bioremediation. To this extent a small company, Bio-Remidex Ltd, has been established within the School. Its activities include hydrocarbon
bioremediation in soil, ports and garage forecourts. Current biosensor projects involve the study of rapid sensor techniques for the determination of analgesic
drug overdose, cardiac markers and environmental pollutants.
The School of Engineering Engineering, Centre for Environmental Engineering and Strategy comprises three research centres: The Centre for Environmental
Strategy (CES), The Centre for Environmental Health Engineering (CEHE) and The Centre for Environmental Systems Engineering
http://www.surrey.ac.uk/eng/research/e ...
The Centre for Environmental Strategy has several research themes including Life Cycle & Systems Analysis, Risk Research and Environmental Management
& Policy-making.
Research areas that are being pursued relate to the development of contaminated land activities to improve the regeneration of brownfield sites, the study
of personal environmental attitudes and their effect on corporate culture, the development and testing of corporate environmental performance indicators
as well as the role of industrial environmental management towards sustainable development and the development of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) from an expert
tool towards use in decision-making processes. This has been applied to waste management.
The Centre for Environmental Health and Engineering (CEHE) provides considerable expertise in Water Treatment and Supply, Wastewater Treatment and Waste
Disposal, Sanitation and Catchment Surveillance. Over the years Research, Consultancy and Training Projects have been completed by the Staff of the Centre
in at least 25 developing countries. The research activities of the Environmental Systems Engineering Group cover three theme areas: Environmental systems
engineering, Environmental process technology and Environmental bioseparations.
