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.
LMB scientist Dr Sarah Teichmann has received a ‘2009 Women of the Future’ award as ‘Science and Technology Woman of the Future’ for her major contribution to scientists’ interpretation of the human genome and an understanding of how evolution shapes the molecules and processes of life.
Human (and other) genome projects are probably one of the most significant advances in biological and medicinal science in the past 20 years. Sarah’s research represents the important next stage.
The MRC Units on the Addenbrooke’s campus, including LMB, have recently been awarded the “Workplace Travel Plan Award Certificate of Commitment” in recognition of their efforts to develop a travel plan to reduce the amount of travel generated by MRC’s activities.
Speaking on behalf of LMB’s Green Committee, Dr Christine Barrie said “We are delighted that all our efforts to address sustainable travel have been recognised.
