The MRC LMS, under the Directorship of Professor Wiebke Arlt, comprises around 35 research groups carrying out mechanistic research addressing major questions of relevance to human health and disease. We are focusing on mechanisms underpinning metabolism, genetic and epigenetic regulation and cell fate decisions and are particularly interested in the impact of sex differences, life course-associated changes and the exposome on these processes. The LMS is committed to a transdisciplinary team science approach and our research progress is accelerated by state-of-the-art core facilities.

The LMS is a world-class research laboratory where scientists and clinicians collaborate to advance the understanding of biology and its application to medicine. Funded by the MRC as part of UK Research and Innovation, the LMS has a collaborative working culture and a new state-of-the-art building next to the Hammersmith Hospital Campus.
