Research

Biomedical Genomics

Our research harnesses the power of large genome-size and population data to reveal the complex nature of disease processes.

Members: Tamir Chandra, Helen Colhoun, Ailith Ewing, Ava Khamseh, Chris Ponting, Colin Semple, Martin Taylor and Catalina Vallejos

Affiliated Members: Sjoerd Beenties, Alison Meynert and Albert Tenesa

Section Head: Professor Martin Taylor

Genome Regulation

Our research focuses on mechanisms that maintain the stability of the genome between cells and between generations, regulate the expression of genes and how changes to these contribute to disease.

Members: Ian Adams, Wendy Bickmore, Javier Caceres, Tom Deegan, Nick Gilbert, Greg Kudla, Richard Meehan and Duncan Sproul

​​Section Head: Professor Javier Caceres

Disease Mechanisms

Our research aims to understand how changes in our genomes cause disease using clinical data, computational modelling and functional genomic approaches

Members: Oriol Canela-Xandri, Yanick Crow, Andrew Jackson, Hannah Long and Joe Marsh

Section Head: Professor Yanick Crow

Disease Models

Our research employs state of the art cell, organoid and animal models to probe the mechanisms of diseases including developmental disorders and cancer

Members: Luke Boulter, Malcolm Dunlop, Pleasantine Mill, Jenny Nichols, Liz Patton, Veronique Vitart and Andrew Wood.
