Section of Cell and Molecular Biology (including the Cancer Research UK Centre for Cell and Molecular Biology)

The Section of Cell and Molecular Biology encompasses a wide range of activities, from studies of gene therapy of cancer to studies on the mechanism of protein folding. This range of activities reflects the underlying approach of studying basic molecular and cell biology to underpin the identification of new strategies for cancer therapeutics. A large element of the work in the Section is funded through the Cancer Research UK Programme on Tumour Cell Signalling Networks. Much of the research in the Section focuses on the molecular dissection of cancer genes and how this affects cell signalling. A new initiative within the Section is systems biology, where we exploit computational biology and network based analysis to understand signalling in tumours.
