The Institute of Life Science (ILS) is the research and innovation arm of the College. It comprises two purpose built research facilities (ILS1 and ILS2) which represent an £80 million investment at Swansea University's Singleton Park campus in Swansea, equipped with an IBM Blue-C supercomputer. A Centre for NanoHealth, the first of its kind in Europe opened in 2011 for research into NanoHealth technologies. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, 87% of staff in the school were assessed as producing research of international quality or above. In 2012 ILS2 became home to one of 4 UK centres for eHealth Research (HeRCs) funded by a Medical Research Council led consortium of funders ,. The college also hosts the EPSRC National Mass Spectrometry Service.
