Cell Biology - Spotlight on ERC projects
Cell biology
Many ERC projects in cell biology address key societal challenges. The projects presented in this brochure are investigating: the role of the cortex in cellular morphogenesis; the role of integrins in the development of cancer cells; the transition from single to multi-cellular organisms at the interface between physics, fluid dynamics and cell biology; the role of mitosis in chromosome formation; why some people age earlier than others, and why they develop cancer and how the endodermis helps plants grow in stressful situations such as an adverse climate.

Sound advice: modelling music halls

Have you ever seen an engineer conducting an imaginary orchestra? We think of scientists working in a lab, but Professor Tapio Lokki, of the Aalto University School of Science in Finland, has spent the last few years visiting concert halls and…

HIV: How modern science is fighting back

Science has a crucial part to play in tackling the AIDS pandemic. ERC funded scientists are engineering better vaccines, studying HIV evolution of drug resistance and discovering how our immune system could combat the virus. They are also working on…

A ‘smart’ knife to fight cancer, crime and contamination

Cancer is one of the most challenging medical issues we face. In the United Kingdom alone, there are 300,000 new cases every year – leading to almost two million surgical operations annually. Thanks to ERC funding, Dr Zoltán Takáts of Imperial…
