Molecular Biosciences

The Division of Molecular Biosciences aims to understand, at the molecular level, the function of cells as an integrated system including details of individual components and biological mechanisms that constitute the system.  In addition, a number of important college-wide and faculty research centres are managed within the Division including the Centres for Bioinformatics, Biomolecular Electron Microscopy, Integrative Systems Biology, Structural Biology and the Glycobiology Training and Infrastructure Centre, as well as the newly formed Cross-Faculty NMR centre. The Divison is housed primarily in the Wolfson Biochemistry building but has laboratories in the Sir Alexander Fleming and Flowers buildings and at the new Diamond synchrotron radiation facility at Harwell Oxfordshire.

As of 1st August 2007, the Division of Molecular Biosciences became part of the Department of Life Sciences

Coming Soon:  One Day Symposium on Ultrafast Vibrational Dynamics of Biomolecules (29 April 2010)

Professor Paul Freemont Head of Division and Chair of Protein Crystallography
