Research Overview
Our world-class basic, clinical and applied research is aimed at elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underpinning life-long human health and disease, and using this information to inform patient care and development of new treatments. Our research involves a range of experimental approaches including model organisms, cell culture and patient samples.
