Our multidisciplinary approach, researchers, collaborations and funding. Image "Our goals are to carry out excellent genetic, genomic, cellular and clinical science, so that we contribute significantly to the understanding of human development, physiology and disease, and apply this knowledge for the benefit of patients and society. This broad vision reflects the diversity of research within the Institute of Genetics and Cancer and we aspire to be world class in key themes, bringing innovation and unique twists to the Institute's discovery and translation." Professor Margaret Frame FRSE FMedSci, Director of the Institute of Genetics and Cancer at the University of Edinburgh Researchers The Institute of Genetics and Cancer partnership brings together engineers, scientists and clinicians from fields as diverse as mathematics, computer sciences, bioinformatics, chemistry, biology and medicine to study human health and disease using modern multidisciplinary approaches. Over 70 research groups, 500 staff and 100 PhD students are working together in a single, scientific endeavour. Our national and international partnerships with industry, academia and healthcare help drive our research and its translation to impact. Our Institute receives core funding from the Medical Research Council (MRC Human Genetics Unit) and CRUK (as part of the CRUK Scotland Centre and Brain Tumour Centre of Excellence). Research Groups A-Z Find a researcher. Research Areas Our research institute is dedicated to advancing the full spectrum of translational science, from foundational research in basic biology to the development of novel therapies. Networks and Collaborations Our major connections and collaborations with others across and outwith the University. This article was published on 2024-09-23
