Buzz Baum

I’m a Cell Biologist at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.

I am fascinated by the process by which one cell becomes two. I research how this process led to the origins of life on Earth, how it can go wrong to cause diseases like cancer, and how we might be able to solve them.
