A discovery that could lead to a new cancer therapy and a look ahead to our big event on 9-10 May. (Extract 1 of 4 from the Imperial College Podcast 22 April 2015)
Immune cells can fuse together to form giant cells with many nuclei. Dr Jacques Behmoaras is investigating why this happens and how these cells are involved in osteoporosis. (Extract 2 of 4 from the Imperial College Podcast 25 March 2014)
Professor Michael Levitt winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry talks about the impact of computing power on the progress of modern biology
Professor Jane Davies gives her inaugural lecture
Gareth Mitchell looks down the microsope at the 2014 Imperial Festival to find what enables bacteria to swim. (Podcast 21 May, extract 4/4)
Nobel laureate Professor Elizabeth Blackburn, who delivered this year’s Schrodinger lecture at Imperial, explains how our chromosomes are worn down as we age. (Extract 2 of 4 from the Imperial College Podcast 20 November 2013)
The winners of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine helped us understand how materials are packaged and transported in cells, as Dr Anita Hall (Life Sciences) explains. (Extract 3 of 3 from the Imperial Podcast 30 October 2013)
A tale of stem cells, regenerative pharmacology and bone marrow biology from Professor Sara Rankin.
Discover how the health of eggs and early embryos affect the future baby, child and adult. Professor Kate Hardy's inaugural lecture. Recorded on 20 June 2012
Imperial's Professor Gerard Bishop and University of Nottingham's Graham Seymour talk about the publication of the tomato genome and what this means for the future of this important fruit crop.
Dr Paolo Muraro speaks about a new trial testing a stem cell treatment for multiple sclerosis.
NK cell proteins are essential to detecting the diseased cells like cancers. Here they organise into a ring within which 'killing' granules are delivered to the diseased cell. Narration by Dr Alice Brown, movie compiled by Warwick Bromley.
Research from Imperial College London has uncovered the mechanism that helps yeast cells attach to human cells, often causing unpleasant fungal infections. This new information could lead scientists to develop new anti-fungal medicines
How a career investigating the inflammatory responses of organisms could hold the key to treating life threatening conditions. Professor Margaret Dallman delivers the 2011 Athena lecture. recorded at Imperial College London
Dr Sara Rankin on speeding up healing and repair by boosting the body's stem cell levels.
Sir Paul Nurse presents this lecture as part of the Imperial College London Kohn Lecture Series
Dr Ed Tate tells us how his team found a chemical that could make Clostridium difficile susceptible to antibiotics
Professor Neil Fairweather and Dr Kate Brown talk about how they produced the first ever 3D image of a disease-causing Clostridium difficile toxin
Video showing a natural killer (NK) cell pulling in a tumour-like cell using a membrane nanotube. These nanotubes help NK cells kill dangerous cells.
Calcium transients in isolated human ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes (demonstrated by Fluo-4-labelled Calcium) video
Movie showing green virus particles moving on the tip of red actin tails. The virus-tipped red actin tail produced by this cell induces the formation of another actin tail after re-contacting the cell surface (white box).
