The School of Biotechnology is a strategic unit in the Faculty of Science and Health at Dublin City University. The Head of School is Professor Ian W. Marison. Located in a state of the art building which incorporates both teaching and research facilities together with a pilot plant, the School is unique in having Process Engineers, Biochemists, Microbiologists, Geneticists and a Pharmacologist within a single departmental unit, thus encouraging inter-disciplinary approaches to teaching and research.

The School is an active centre of basic and applied research. Members of staff have collaborative links with national and international research laboratories and researchers in the school also work in close collaboration with centres of excellence based at DCU, in particular the National Institute for Cellular Biotechnology (NICB) and the National Centre for Sensor Research (NCSR). Members of the School are involved in teaching at both undergraduate and post-graduate level in many degree programmes.

Prospective students and members of the public are welcome to visit the School at any time. Visitors should contact the School secretary at 7005284 who will make arrangements for them to meet with staff and to visit the facilities.
