Museum research is extremely broad across the life and earth sciences. Life science Divisions include Insects, Invertebrates, Diversity and informatics, Parasites and vectors, Vertebrates, and Algae, fungi and plants. Earth science divisions include Economic and environmental sciences, Mineral and planetary sciences, Invertebrate and plant palaeobiology, and Vertebrate and anthropological palaeobiology. The museum also has a large and active Core Research Lab (CRL) facility including a conservation centre, imaging and analysis centre, digitisation centre and molecular biology unit. Science heritage research also takes place via the Library and archives department.
