Molecular Mechanisms Discovery Advisory Group
This advisory group shortlists candidates for Wellcome Career Development Awards and Wellcome Discovery Awards.
Its remit covers applications that aim to deliver a mechanistic understanding of biological processes or machines at an atomic or molecular level.
Examples include:
- structure or function studies of biological macromolecules
- application of physical and chemical approaches to the understanding of biological processes or machines at the atomic or molecular level
- regulation of gene expression and protein function
- genome organisation, integrity and stability.
