Babraham Institute
About this community
Undertakes innovative biomedical research to discover the molecular mechanisms that underlie normal cellular processes and functions, and how, over lifetime, their failure or abnormality may lead to disease
The Babraham Institute is located six miles south-east of the university city of Cambridge, UK. We undertake innovative biomedical research to discover the molecular mechanisms that underlie normal cellular processes and functions, and how, over lifetime, their failure or abnormality may lead to disease. The Institute is a registered charity, sponsored by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), to underpin its national responsibilities for healthcare research and training.
Our research is also supported by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and many medical charities and other organisations.

T cell phenotyping of a mouse model of Activated PI3Kdelta syndrome
(2019-07-20)Activated PI3Kdelta Syndrome (APDS) is immunodeficiency caused by a heterozygous gain-of-function mutation (E1021K) in the PIK3CD gene, encoding for the p110delta catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). APDS ... -
Novel mechanisms of Atg16L1 recruitment in non-canonical autophagy
(2019-07-31)Autophagy is a well-studied catabolic process through which cytoplasmic components are targeted for lysosomal degradation by autophagosomes. A key step in this process is the recruitment, processing and lipidation of LC3 ... -
Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of p110δ activation in T cell antigen receptor signalling
(2019-05-18)Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are activated in immune cells downstream of the antigen recognition receptors, the signals from which are crucial for the development, differentiation and activation of lymphocytes. ... -
Activation and Maintenance of Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocytes (IELs)
(2019-04-27)The intestinal tissue is charged with a delicate immunological task. The intestinal immune system needs to be tolerant towards nutrients and microbiota present in the intestinal lumen, while simultaneously detecting and ...
