Centre for Cell Biology and Cutaneous Research
Our Centre brings together scientists with an overarching aim to understand the fundamental mechanisms of epithelial diseases. Research focuses include skin biology and diseases, epithelial signalling and barrier function, wound healing, ageing and senescence and cancer biology. The Centre has an excellent track record in rare disease gene discovery, uncovering disease mechanisms, developing three-dimensional skin models for ageing and disease, and has clinical links with Barts Health NHS Trust.Research staff

The Centre for Cell Biology and Cutaneous Research is a collaborative environment for working on epithelial biology. Our key strengths include development of skin three-dimensional models, cancer biology and genetics, extracellular matrix biology, epithelial signalling and gene discovery in genetic skin and related diseases.
Academic staff in the Centre teach across all years of the MBBS and BDS curriculum. We also are module leads and course lecturers across a number of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught Degree Programmes.
