Day 15 of #LMB365 is a very satisfying photo from Andrew Carter’s group @Carter_Lab in Structural Studies. In order to achieve this the tubes have been spun at very high speeds resulting in a beautiful pattern of the inner contents of cells layered on top of each other

Day 14 of #LMB365 is a reflection of the LMB in the facade of the new headquarters for @AstraZeneca. We have been watching the building over the past few years and look forward to welcoming them to the expanded Cambridge Biomedical Campus @CamBioCampus in the near future

Day 13 of #LMB365 celebrates LMB Nobel Laureate @NobelPrize Sydney Brenner. Born on this day in 1927 in South Africa, he was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2002 for discoveries concerning the genetic regulation of organ development in C. elegans

When DNA is damaged this can cause mutation, which drives cancer. Luckily our cells have repair mechanisms that can fix damage to protect the cell. Day 12 of #LMB365 shows towers of plates containing cells being used by KJ Patel’s group in PNAC to study cellular repair processes

John Sutherland’s group in the PNAC Division is trying to recreate the steps that led to life and took place on Earth 4.5 billion years ago. In day 11 of #LMB365 we see a pair of flasks in which components of potentially primitive genetic materials have been made

Day 10 of #LMB365 is an image taken from the LMB rooftop terrace which has spectacular views over the Cambridge Biomedical Campus @CamBioCampus. On what was a cold and bright day @BediRecolin captured a bright moon as a teeny tiny white ball floating in the sky between the LMB’s chimneys
