Research Themes

research-accordion

We study the genetic foundations of human physiology and disease.

Genetic basis of rare and common diseases: Molecular pathology and functional genomisc tools common and rare diseases.

Gene and environment interactios: how to treat, cure and prevent disease.

Four research themes:

  • Immunity, inflammation and infectious disease: understanding the role of inherited individual variation in immune and inflammatory responses to disease.
  • Neurodevelopment and Neuroinflammation: Applying molecular techniques to investigate healthy and impaired neuronal and brain functions.
  • Cancer: Identifying genes and pathways that predispose to cancer, or contribute to cancer growth through somatic changes.
  • Personalised medicine: How can translate findings in genomics into clinical practice.
