At UCL, researchers are leading a transformative era in molecular biology, focusing on the complexity of life at a molecular level. By embracing interdisciplinary collaboration, they are able to decode the intricate processes that define living systems. UCL’s research teams work across scales — from molecular structures to whole organisms — advancing our understanding of how life adapts, thrives, and, in cases like malaria, presents significant health challenges.

Central to their work is cutting-edge 3D data technology, which brings molecular interactions to life, allowing scientists to see proteins in action. This rich data offers insights into immune function and disease mechanisms, creating pathways to improved diagnostics and targeted therapies. With this holistic approach, UCL equips the next generation of scientists with the tools to innovate in drug design and tackle global health issues with precision and impact.
