The London Research Institute research groups are based at Lincoln’s Inn Fields and Clare Hall. Our major research themes are: the biology of tumours and tissues, cellular regulatory mechanisms and genomic integrity and cell cycle.

Cellular Regulatory Mechanisms

The theme of cellular regulatory mechanisms encompasses the following research fields: 

  • Systems Biology
  • Biophysics
  • Cellular Physiology
  • Oncogenes and transformation
  • Signalling networks
  • Control of gene expression
  • Molecular and cell biology
  • Structural and computational biology
