Scientific focus

Molecular cell biology is one of the most exciting and important areas of biomedical research.

Major human diseases such as cancer, inflammation, neuro-degeneration and pathogen infection are primarily diseases of cells, and without a molecular understanding of the underlying cell mechanisms, directed therapeutic intervention is impossible. Collaborative multidisciplinary research and cutting-edge technology are essential ingredients for promoting imaginative and innovative discoveries in cell biology.

Towards this goal, we recruit and train the best scientists in these areas and actively promote technology development.
