You’ve gotta love the Centre of the Cell in London’s Whitechapel. They’re still half a year from opening, but already have one of the coolest web sites around.

The centre will be an educational attraction, teaching youngsters (and a few oldsters like me who’ve forgotten some really elementary biology) about the roles of cells in health and disease.

As well as the Cell Trumps card game I’ve mentioned before, they’ve also made a bevy of interactive games and features. Check ‘em out. I just fought off a gut infection by killing cytokines, and helped a young lady kick a football by collecting cells for her in a Petri dish. Not bad for a slow Wednesday afternoon.

I might suggest they build a video game to teach the importance of sterilisation. Grand Theft Autoclave, anyone?
