Our Mission and Vision

Student engagement, learning, and success are at the heart of higher education. Aligning with and advocating the values of the University of Westminster, the mission of the Gene Editors of the Future is to vertically integrate scientific research seamlessly in higher education and develop a culture of excellence. We envision a future where cutting-edge science can be simplified to empower students to explore and redefine the boundaries of science.

To accomplish these goals, we collaborate with students at all levels and work alongside academic, clinical, and industry partners to explore innovative ways of enhancing the student experience. The concept of Gene Editors of the Future was established in 2019 at the Genome Engineering Laboratory of the University of Westminster and officially launched a year with support from Quintin Hogg Trust. Since its inception, the program has run four successful iterations, training over 700 participants-including undergraduates, postgraduates, doctoral researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and technicians-as a free extracurricular opportunity offered by the School of Life Sciences.

We have a strong track record of using a range of innovative ways of student engagement all while providing hands-on training in cutting-edge scientific and experimental approaches. Researchers at all levels gain hands-on experience in various stages of the gene editing workflow, in addition to developing scientific leadership, communication, collaborative, and networked learning skills which led to many successful placements in further academic and career opportunities for its participants. The program aligns with multiple SDGs, including SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, and SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.

Dr. Kalpana Surendranath MSc PhD SFHEA FRSB

The British Society for Cell Biology has information and links to find out more about cell biology.

Cells are the fundamental unit of living organisms. Biologists have studied cells for centuries in order to understand their physiological properties, their structure, the organelles they harbour, interactions between cells and with their extracellular environment, their life cycle, how they divide and how they die.

Modern cell biologists use a multitude of techniques from whole organism microscopy rightdown to the molecular level investigating the proteins and the genetics of cellular components and cell functions. Cell biology research encompasses both the great diversity of single-celled organisms like bacteria and protozoa, as well as the myriad specialised cells in multicellular organisms such as humans and plants. Cell biology is at the core of developmental biology and stem cell research as well as immunology and cancer biology.

This page is the start point for your journey into cell biology. We hope you enjoy learning about the life of cells!

Several textbooks are used in Biochemistry teaching and the team recommends

Brown T.A. (2016) Biochemistry. Scion Publishing Limited  available at Amazon and other suppliers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Description

Biochemistry has been written and designed specifically for briefer courses in the subject.

Written by Prof. Terry Brown of the University of Manchester (author of Genomes and Gene Cloning), the book provides the necessary detail and rigor expected for these courses, but without the extraneous material found in the larger textbooks.

With an increasing number of students taking a shorter course in biochemistry there is a growing need for a book that covers the subject concisely and succinctly.

Biochemistry has been designed from the outset for these shorter courses; it is not a cut-down version of one of the larger books that dominate the market.

Although it is shorter, there is no compromise in content, style and coverage. The book is attractively designed in full color throughout with all the pedagogical features expected in a major textbook. It covers what your students should be expected to know and is written in the clear and accurate writing style for which Terry Brown is widely lauded.

The book is competitively priced and there are ebooks available from the usual e-textbook suppliers.

Exam copies

To request an exam copy, please email Simon Watkins, Sales Director [ simon.watkins@scionpublishing.com] with the following information: Course Name and Number; Enrollment; Course Start Date; Current Recommended Texts.
Note that exam copies will be supplied only to faculty teaching an appropriate course and with a valid university email address.
Powerpoints

Powerpoints of all the illustrations, diagrams and tables are now available for lecturers. If you would like these, please email Simon Watkins, Sales Director [ simon.watkins@scionpublishing.com] The powerpoints will be provided via file transfer (we generally use WeTransfer).

Five-star reviews:
Helpful, informative, and cheap too!
"This is one of the recommended textbooks for the first year of my course. It is very easy to read, and finding the information that I need is also very simple. The illustrations are great, as they are easy to follow whilst also including all of the important knowledge. This book is also pretty cheap, which is amazing considering that I've used this book a lot more than the other more expensive recommended texts!"

Very nice book
"This is a very nice, well-written book with lots of illustrations. I highly recommend it for biomedical science degrees."

All the pretty pictures!
"I love the content in this book. There's lots of colorful pictures and different side stories that relate to the content of each section. I sound like a child, but I can't stress enough how helpful colorful pretty pages are for me when it comes to information retention. The book presents the chemistry aspect of the content in easy little squares/boxes of information. Just relevant details without drowning you. I am a chemistry major, but's definetly refreshing to read such a friendly book. Did I mention how easy it is to read? It is. You could sit down at the laundromat while all of your 3 pairs of pants and 4 shirts wash, and read this book like a novel."

Mutations in PARK15/FBXO7 cause autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease. Alvaro Sanchez-Martinez, Aitor Martinez and Alexander Whitworth show that its Drosophila orthologue, ntc, works antagonistically with USP30 to set the ubiquitination threshold needed to regulate basal mitophagy, and provides a target for Pink1 phosphorylation required for parkin-dependent stress-induced mitophagy.
