Microtubules are tiny biological tubes, made from two proteins that work together: shown here in orange and red.
They are vital for moving cargoes within cells, providing rigid tracks for biological motors to run along and helping cells to separate their chromosomes during cell division.

Microtubules are one of the many important biological structures that we study at our centre, and are one of the most effective targets of chemotherapy medicine.

Our mission is to understand living systems at the molecular level, making discoveries that advance knowledge of normal and abnormal cell function and thus health and disease.
