What we do
It is our mission to unravel the molecular details of the working of cells in their normal function and the perturbed functioning in diseased cells. We help translate our knowledge and technologies to clinical practice.

Research
Our common goal is simple and easily described, but the road we take and focus points we have in our science are very diverse. Ranging from virus biology to genome editing, diabetes and oncogenic signaling, our scope of interest covers a wide area of life science.

EDUCATION
CCB participates in many graduate and postgraduate programs that are offered by the LUMC and in programs that are organized by other faculties/universities in- and outside Leiden.

Academic Pharma
Academic Pharma is one of the ten research themes of the LUMC, that aim to form a cross-departmental environment in which connection and quality of research are optimally stimulated. Within Academic Pharma innovative new drugs (or new drug targets) will be discovered and developed. Outstanding academic biomedical research has proven to form the basis for new drug targets and innovative treatments.
