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:
- Oncogenes and transformation
- Signalling networks
- Control of gene expression
- Molecular and cell biology
- Structural and computational biology
