Cell Biology
Cells are instrumental to the existence of every living organism. An average adult human body alone is made up of over 37 trillion cells.
At TLL, our researchers explore cell components and their respective functions. Delving into the production of proteins in cellular membranes, the evolutionary traits in specific cells, and more, we shed light on complex cellular processes, with the aim to transform our scientific understanding of cells into valuable applications for the betterment of humanity.
Examples include the early prevention of ALS-8 in humans, the production of sustainable materials from fungi-based proteins, and more.
