Welcome to the Nott Lab
We are an interdisciplinary group in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford. Our research is aimed at understanding sub-cellular organisation, and in particular how and why cells perform certain biochemical reactions inside membraneless organelles. Check out our published work here.
