The Centre's research encompasses both infectious and non-communicable diseases, affecting both the developing world as well as industrialised countries.

  • Cancer: Identifying genes and pathways that predispose to cancer, or contribute to cancer growth through somatic changes.
  • Cardiovascular disease: Exploring genetic susceptibility to common forms of heart disease; using this knowledge to place genetics at the heart of advances in patient care.
  • Immunity, inflammation and infectious disease: understanding the role of inherited individual variation in immune and inflammatory responses to disease.
  • Mental Health: Applying molecular techniques to investigate healthy and impaired neuronal and brain functions.
  • Inherited disease and disease risks: Making use of the full facet of molecular pathology and functional genomic tools to discover the causes and pathways that explain the genetic component of common and rare diseases
