Six short films produced for the Wellcome Trust Centre for Gene Regulation and Expression. The six films: Research, Microscopy, Proteomics, Computing, Communication and Inspiration were produced in order to convey to the widest possible audience by means of web video, the research technologies, collaboration and inspiration that enable advances in medical science and human health. The films were made for a non-scientific audience - the general public, schools, policy makers, and governmental funding bodies to provide insight into research in gene regulation and expression.
