Biophysical and cellular research across disciplines and scales

The Randall Centre is a vibrant research environment, hosting labs working in burgeoning fields in biomedicine. Our research addresses fundamental biological questions at the interface between the physical and biomedical sciences.

We develop and apply state-of-the-art biophysical techniques and address molecular and cellular processes in biology and medicine. Many of these applications are focused on cell motility and the cytoskeleton, muscle signalling, stem cells and developmental biology, with a translational focus in allergy and asthma, cardiovascular and cancer biology.

The Centre is internationally recognised, helping us to foster cross-organisational collaborations and attract the best emerging and established talent from across the globe.

Seeing the Invisible: Emily Stapleton-Jefferis at the Randall Centre

When you walk into the Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics at King’s College London, you’re stepping into a place where scientists are peering into an invisible world and uncovering the hidden structures of life at the smallest scale. And now visitors are also greeted by a striking artwork by artist Emily Stapleton-Jefferis, inspired directly by the science taking place inside these walls.
