Chin – Lab. - MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
We are located in the Centre for Chemical and Synthetic Biology and the Division of Protein & Nucleic Acid Chemistry at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, in Cambridge, UK. In recent years we have pioneered approaches for reprogramming the translational machinery of cells.
Work Experience - MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
The LMB offers a variety of work experience placements for students in Years 10 to 13 (aged 14 and above). Our placements provide hands-on experience of working in an academic research institute, with priority given to underrepresented students.
History of the LMB - MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
History of the LMB. In 1947 the Medical Research Council set up a ‘Unit for Research on the Molecular Structure of Biological Systems’ to enable Max Perutz and John Kendrew to develop their work using X-ray diffraction to study proteins.
Cell Biology - MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
Cell Biology Division. The Division aims to understand the biological organisation of cells and organisms, and the molecular mechanisms underlying their function. These fundamental questions are addressed using a wide range of model organisms including yeast, slime moulds, nematodes, flies and mice, as well as cell culture and in vitro techniques.
