The Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology has a mission to discover the fundamental molecular mechanisms that determine cell function in health and disease. Image Adele Marston, Centre Director Vision Our vision is to explore and understand how cell states are established and maintained in contexts that include infection, development, aging and disease. Culture Our culture nurtures ideas, disseminates knowledge and fosters a collaborative environment. Expertise Our collective expertise straddles discipline boundaries, catalyses high quality research and is alert to translation, with ultimate benefits for human health and wellbeing. Research Our research themes are intersecting and synergistic: Gametogenesis, inheritance and fertility. Cell cycle, differentiation and genetic disease. Adaptation, gene expression and drug resistance. Environment Our environment is that of a cutting-edge research institute embedded within a globally influential University. The Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology benefits from access to a thriving student population and enjoys strong interdisciplinary links and collaborations with other University departments including engineering, physics, informatics, medicine and chemistry. Public engagement Public engagement is integrated into our research vision and reaches into diverse communities, with a particular emphasis on targeting those that have few opportunities for scientific discourse.
