Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology (MCDB)

Molecular mechanisms that underpin cellular biology and how these are corrupted in disease states.

On this page

We investigate the molecular mechanisms that underpin cell and tissue biology. This includes the regulation of cell division and how the expression and function of genes and proteins are regulated during differentiation in embryonic and adult tissues. Increasingly, tissue models provide a means of uncovering how these processes are perturbed in human diseases.

To facilitate our research, we have established shared resources for advanced technologies including Microscopy, Human Pluripotent Cell culture, Proteomics, and Data analysis. We find that collaboration is an effective and enjoyable way of working across scales and facilitating the translation of our discoveries.
