MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology
East of England
Founded 1947
Birthplace of molecular biology researching fundamental processes in human disease
The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology researches fundamental biological processes at the level of atoms, molecules, cells and organisms, applying this knowledge to major problems in human health and disease.
The Laboratory pioneered techniques including DNA sequencing, protein structure determination and the development of monoclonal and humanised antibodies, work that has underpinned major therapeutic breakthroughs.
Current research spans conditions including Alzheimer's disease and viral infection,
