The Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment (A-LIFE) was founded in 2021 as a result of the merger of three smaller groups: Molecular Cell Biology, Ecological Sciences and Environment and Health. The complementary and interconnected research and teaching portfolios of the three constitutive groups formed the basis of A-LIFE’s success.
