Karim Labib's Lab

The School of Life Sciences in Dundee is one of the top-ranked university departments for biological research in the U.K. (ranked first in the U.K. government's 'Research Excellence Framework' assessment in 2014).

The MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit is located within the School of Life Sciences and studies the biological roles of ubiquitylation and phosphorylation, and their links to human disease.  Funding from the Medical Research Council supports cutting edge facilities, and the unit provides an exciting and collaborative research environment.

One key feature of the unit is its long-standing collaboration with leading pharmaceutical companies, to form the Division of Signal Transduction Therapy.  This allows our scientists and the pharmaceutical companies to interact on a regular basis, thereby helping to accelerate the early stages of drug discovery.
