About the Institute of Zoology
The Institute of Zoology (IoZ) is the research division of the Zoological Society of London. It is a government-funded research institute specialising in scientific issues relevant to the conservation of animal species and their habitats.
The Institute’s core funding comes from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the same body that supports universities. Additional funding for specific projects comes from the UK research councils (e.g. NERC, BBSRC, EPSRC) and research charities, as in university departments.
The five thematic areas on which we focus our research span evolutionary biology, genetics, ecology, reproductive biology and wildlife epidemiology. Our scientific research and training programmes are outlined on this site and in our annual scientific reports. The Institute of Zoology was graded 4, in the 1997-2001 UK Research Assessment Exercise.
