The Unit of Medical Biochemistry investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer, neurodegeneration, metabolism, and cell signalling. Its research explores gene regulation and oncogenic transcriptional networks, neuronal cell function and neurotoxicity, mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases, hormone-dependent signalling, and cellular communication within the tumour microenvironment, using complementary experimental and translational approaches across diverse model systems and disease-focused research platforms. By integrating these areas, the Unit connects fundamental biochemical processes with disease development, helping to identify new molecular targets and potential therapeutic strategies.
