Research Methods in Cancer Biology
https://le.ac.uk/modules/2024/mb7003
Module code: MB7003 When a gene is found to be mutated in a cancer, we first need to understand how its protein product functions and then how the mutated protein alters the behaviour of cancer cells. For example, cancer cells show uncontrolled cell proliferation.

New way of screening toxic chemicals mimics mammal senses
https://le.ac.uk/news/2016/october/new-way-of-screening-toxic-chemicals-mimics-mammal-senses
Researchers from our University have developed a new approach for analysing toxic chemicals in complex samples that mimics the way mammals smell and taste. The technique could reduce the need for laboratory animals in biomedical research and other areas of chemical testing.
