Biomedical Sciences
Our research programme in Cell and Developmental Biology is exploring the cellular basis of disease, the mechanisms that enable cell duplication, movement and repair and the self-organisational events that produce multi-cellular organisms. Our investigators also form the core of the Centre for Mechanochemical Cell Biology.
