About Torsten Krude

The Principal Investigator in the lab is Torsten Krude. He is a University Lecturer in Cell Biology in the Department of Zoology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of Darwin College. He teaches currently in second and third year undergraduate courses of the Natural Sciences Tripos: Part 1B 'Cell and Developmental Biology' and Part 2 'Zoology'.

Originally from Germany, he graduated and obtained his PhD from the University of Konstanz, Germany, working in the laboratory of Rolf Knippers on the assembly of nucleosomes during DNA replication. He moved to Cambridge in 1994 to do a postdoc with Ron Laskey at the Wellcome/CRC Institute (now the Wellcome Trust/ Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute), on the regulation of human chromosomal DNA replication. He began to establish his own research group there from 1997 onwards, as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. In 2000 the group moved to the Department of Zoology.


Location of the lab

The lab is located on the New Museums Site, in the historic city centre of Cambridge. Therefore, we are within walking distance of most Colleges, other Departments of the School of the Biological Sciences and the Gurdon Institute. Details on how to find us are available here.


Funding

Our current research is funded by the Association for International Cancer Research (AICR). In the past, we have also received support from Cancer Research UK, the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) and Amersham Pharmacia Biotech. PhD students in the lab receive, or have received scholarships from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the Medical Research Council (MRC), the Gates Cambridge Trust and the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds. Summer students are supported, or have been supported, by Vacation Scholarships from the Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK and Undergraduate Research Bursaries from the Nuffield Foundation. More details can be found here. We gratefully acknowledge this support.
