| Location of the Institute
Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics are taught and researched at the Turitea site of Manawatu Campus in Palmerston North. The Institute occupies a portion of the four Science Towers at Massey University, sharing these towers with its Sister Institute, the Institute of Molecular Biosciences. A happy consequence of the juxtaposition of biology and the four fundamental sciences is that fields such as mathematical biology, structural biology, biostatistics and biophysics exist as natural entities without the need for formal structures to convey identities. Biochemistry sits within the Institute of Molecular Biosciences and the Centre for Structural Biology spans the two institutes, but the research activities transcend the Institute boundaries. The Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution has strong links to IFS as does The MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology. Statistics and the Statistics office occupy part of the AgHort building on level 2 of wing A. The main IFS Office is on Level 4 of Science Tower B. |
