A brand-new laboratory complex has just been opened next to the Division of Signal Transduction Therapy (DSTT) on the first floor of the MSI-WTB Complex. The laboratory houses the research group of Professor Tricia Cohen and is shared with that of Dr John Lucocq, a Programme Leader in the School of Life Sciences, who has important collaborations with the Unit. The majority of the £450,000 required to construct and fully equip the 185 square metres of new laboratory area and office space was paid for by the commercial income of the Unit.

To celebrate the opening, a reception was held in the office space adjoining the main laboratory. The reception was attended by members of the new laboratory and other Unit members who played key roles during the designing and construction of the laboratory.
