Medical Research
The cells in your body work together to keep you healthy but sometimes you get sick. When you are ill your cells have gone wrong. Scientists in medical research centres here at QMUL and around the world are trying to find new ways of putting cells right
Your cells can be damaged in the following ways:
Accidents & repair
After an accident vital cells can be damaged and never grow back.
Genetic problems
Some people inherit a gene from their parents that stops their cells from working properly.
Infection & germs
Sometimes germs can pass through the body's defences and cause damage.
Cancer: Damaged genes
Damage the genes that control cell growth and multiplication, and cancer could start.
