Developing new technologies to address life science challenges
By gathering experts from the fields of physics, chemistry, computer science and biology to work in agile teams, we can create our innovative new technologies. Through this work, we can accelerate life science discovery for human health.
Our challenges are unashamedly ambitious. We are striving to develop techniques that push the boundaries of what is possible in biological imaging and biochemistry to tackle the biggest challenges in health and life sciences.
We work to create innovative new technologies and address our life science challenges in partnership with our communities.
How Pathogens Interact with Human Cells
Our aim: To discover new ways of detecting, preventing and combatting human infectious diseases by discovering the mechanisms by which viruses and bacteria interact with human cells and tissues.
- Nanobody-guided antivirus drug delivery
- Understanding how Chlamydia adapts to life inside and outside host cells
- Visualising HIV entry one virus at a time
- Applying artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of anti-viral nanobodies
- Defining how coronaviruses enter and traffic in cells
- Disease X
