The Research Centre Molecular Processes of the Cell (CMP) investigates the chemical and physical interactions that occur at the molecular level within living organisms. These processes are fundamental for how cells function and how biological activities are regulated during homeostasis and in disease. CMP RC studies the structures, interactions and functions of the key components that make up the cells at all scales from single molecules to complex organisms. The CMP has its critical mass around three themes: gene regulation, molecular biophysics and cell signalling. We utilise state-of-the-art methodologies ranging from advanced imaging, biophysical measurements, structural biology, sequencing technologies and computational biology to cell and animal models to deepen our understanding of how molecular interactions guide cellular activities at the gene, protein and organism level.
