Welcome

Welcome to the Cook group (contacts).
Peter Cook has retired, but is still engaged in research as an 'Honorary Researcher' and 'Emeritus Professor' in two main areas:
   
A model for genome organization and gene regulation

1. Genome organization and gene regulation: This 5-min YouTube movie shows how we think RNA polymerases work, how genes are regulated, and how genomes are organized.
Fluid walls can confine different volumes

2. Microfluidics with fluid walls: Latterly, we have been developing simple ways of doing microfluidics. We hope these will transform the way small volumes are handled in the biosciences (review).

iotaSciences Ltd – a company spun-out from The University of Oxford – is commercializing this technology.
