Welcome

The Medical School at Night

The Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences (ICaMB) carries out world leading research on a range of problems of basic biological science. Recent high profile papers from the Institute are available here.

Our aim is to answer key questions relating to fundamental cell science, using the broad range of techniques available at the Institute. The research in ICaMB is cross kingdom and has relevance to various aspects of cell function, including

  • cell signalling
  • control of gene expression
  • cell cycle
  • cell morphogenesis
  • protein biology (synthesis, maturation, interactions, secretion)
  • functions of organelles and cell bodies
  • membrane transport of nutrients, electrolytes and xenobiotics
  • cell and molecular basis of disease

Informally ICaMB's research is subdivided into two major groups:

Professor Jeff Errington FRS FMedSci became Director of ICaMB in 2005.
