To contact specific members of the Department :
The listing of key personnel gives the name and phone extension of key members of the Department.
Our research index page provides links to lab pages, which in turn give contact information for the Group Leader, and further links to lists of lab members. We do not have a separate listing of academic staff or Faculty, so please refer to this lab listing.
You can also find lists of people via their Departmental status - Go to 'People' and choose the appropriate category. Or you can type in the person's details in the search box at top right. All Department members should be represented, except Undergraduates; but not all will provide contact details.
You can also use the University e-mail and phone search to find a University e-mail ID, which will be followed by @cam.ac.uk
General e-mail rule for this Department :
If you know the name of the person you wish to contact, the Departmental e-mail protocol is:-
first initial.surname@gen.cam.ac.uk
example:- g.mendel@gen.cam.ac.uk
This also generally applies to names with more than two parts
However, some newer Department members are represented by the formula first name.surname [as in gregor.mendel@gen.cam.ac.uk] so please try this is the standard formula is bounced back.
If in doubt try the Departmental 'People' directory, or the University of Cambridge person search page, bearing in mind that members of the University can choose not to be listed.
However, if you require information about something related to the Department, please see the listing below:
