Buzz Baum
Cell Biologist, MRC, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge
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. My lab is interested in the generation of biological form or “morphogenesis”. We study events at the cellular scale because the cell is the unit of life. Much of the lab’s work focuses on cell division – the process by which becomes two.

If you want to discover new places, you really have to throw yourself into the unknown. You will have tools that can help you, but you don’t know what you’re going to see.
