Summary

Molecular and Cellular Biology is at the core of understanding fundamental biological processes. Our research aims to characterise molecular and cellular functions and signalling using our expertise in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology and bioinformatics.

Our aim

Researching the functions of molecules and cells is crucial for our understanding of biology at its fundamental level. This allows for the development of new knowledge of gene inheritance, protein function, cellular behaviour and metabolic control to tackle disease treatment and biotechnological applications. The researchers in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Research Group are investigating the role of molecules in a range of cells and organisms, with special focus on mitochondrial functions, exosomes and microvesicles in cellular signalling, membrane transporters in prokaryotes, and drug interactions.
