Cell Biology

We have expertise in the generation and growth of primary and secondary cell lines (insect, mammalian, and human). We also are experienced in the isolation, characterisation, differentiation and expansion of human stem cells (ES lines, adult pluripotent stem cell and chord blood).

Our cell biologists have particular expertise in the elucidation of signaling pathways, the pinpointing of the site of action of drugs, and in the localization of targets in cells and tissues (laser dissection microscopy, in situ hybridization, Bioplex protein array, immune histochemistry and confocal microscopy).
