MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
One of the world's leading research institutes, our scientists are working to advance understanding of biological processes at the molecular level - providing the knowledge needed to solve key problems in human health.
Work started at LMB by Donna Albertson, now at UCSF, and Nichol Thomson, has helped researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine determine the complete wiring diagram for the part of the nervous system controlling mating in the male roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans” More…
According to news reporting originating in Cambridge, United Kingdom, by NewsRx journalists, researchers stated “CD4+ T cells play key roles in orchestrating adaptive immune responses, and are a popular model for mammalian cell differentiation. While immune regulation would seem to require exactly adjusted mRNA and protein expression levels of key factors, there is little evidence that this is strictly the case.” More…
“Heptares Therapeutics, the leading GPCR drug discovery company, has extended its collaboration with the MRC, in particular the research group led by Chris Tate, at the LMB.” More…
