Centre for Molecular Medicine

Experimental techniques routinely used in Crohn's research

The Centre for Molecular Medicine has a strong research base and runs successful postgraduate courses for scientist and clinicians. Research is mainly in the field of inflammatory bowel disease and phagocyte biology, but there are also groups working on erythrocyte biology and molecular cell dynamics. The centre comprises independent groups led by senior scientists. The work of the centre integrates closely with other research themes in the Division of Medicine and there are projects that cross centres, departments and faculties within UCL. External collaborations are continually being forged with the aim to generate world class research teams. We have created an environment in which translational research can be easily conducted through strong links with colleagues working in UCL and the Royal Free Trust hospitals.
