The Division of Molecular and Cellular Sciences (MCS) undertakes pioneering research in the basic and biomedical sciences, aimed at understanding biological processes, and applied research in the areas of target identification, bioassay development and drug discovery, bioanalysis and translational research. Biological processes are investigated at the molecular and cellular levels, incorporating molecular biology, cell biology, immunology and systems biology.

MCS houses three areas of research; please click on each group for more information or academic member for a more detailed review of their work.
