Molecular & Cell Biology

Our team undertakes fundamental scientific research to understand health and disease at both cellular and organismal levels. Our studies utilise a wide array of techniques including real-time microscopic imaging of live cells and their components, surface-plasmon resonance, molecular mutation, novel expression systems, and genomic and proteomic analyses. This research capacity is directed towards the characterisation and manipulation of key molecular mechanisms underlying normal and pathological cell function.
