CELL BIOLOGY<br />
Cell Biology seeks to understand<br />
the molecular workings of the<br />
cell. This ambition encompasses<br />
ef<strong>for</strong>ts to elucidate how<br />
molecular and biochemical<br />
mechanisms are integrated<br />
to drive fundamental cellular<br />
events, such as metabolism,<br />
intracellular transport, growth,<br />
division and signalling. Ultimately<br />
such integration must extend to<br />
encompass the differentiation<br />
events and the interaction of<br />
cells with their environment that<br />
are the basis <strong>for</strong> tissue function.<br />
Such fundamental knowledge<br />
also <strong>for</strong>ms the basis <strong>for</strong> a<br />
detailed understanding of cellular<br />
pathology in human diseases,<br />
such as inflammation and cancer.
