Centre of the Cell is an interactive science education centre sited in a working biomedical research laboratory at QMUL. You can learn about how your cells work and how scientists find new ways of putting cells right when they go wrong.

Centre of the Cell online is packed with facts, pictures, games and films inspired by the ongoing work of more than 60 leading scientists and doctors at Queen Mary, University of London and its Medical School ( QMUL ).

This dynamic interactive resource will help you get to grips with cell science and how the latest developments in medical research affect you and your community.

Great work - I'm jealous of what these guys have done!

This is a great site which communicates the key role cells play in the our biology in an exceptionally clear and attractive fashion. Best of all, it is organised in a really engaging way that captures the imagination. Understandable (especially with the jargon buster) by those with little biological knowledge it could still make this hardened biologist (!) re-evaluate and re-enthuse about cells

I would think this would be a fantastic way for teachers to take their charges away from the sometimes dry framework of the curriculum and let them really get to grips with their biology and how this is underpinned by cells.

I also really like the patients journey section it's a great way to encourage people to take up a career in these areas and gives both a human feel to the jobs and also an impression of diversity of the options.

My only grumbles is that I want to be able to vote or comment on the ethics stuff.
