Research
Our discovery research looks at the key biological processes that help maintain health and how these might break down to cause disease. We take a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating molecular and cellular biology with analysis of disease models and the study of patient tissue samples. Our goal is to understand the molecular basis of disease to help develop new drugs or to identify biomarkers in patients to better help manage treatment of disease. We collaborate with clinical centres and with industry partners to turn our basic discoveries into new therapies for patients.
