The Centre has a mission to discover the fundamental molecular mechanisms that determine cell function in health and disease.

The Centre is home to around 170 scientists and support staff working collaboratively towards a common goal.

- SYCP1 head-to-head assembly is required for chromosome synapsis in mouse meiosis
- BRCA1-BARD1 combines multiple chromatin recognition modules to bridge nascent nucleosomes
- Phosphorylation controls spatial and temporal activities of motor-PRC1 complexes to complete mitosis
- Histone divergence in trypanosomes results in unique alterations to nucleosome structure
- The proteomic landscape of genome-wide genetic perturbations

Public engagement is integrated into our research vision and reaches into diverse communities.

Sustainability is an integral part of the Centre, and we are committed to conducting our research sustainably.
