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.

Underpinned by an MRC Unit award, our mission is to understand how our genome works and how changes in DNA influence human health and cause disease.

Edinburgh Cancer Research brings together cancer scientists and clinicians from across the University of Edinburgh to deliver outstanding cancer research and improved patient care.

The Centre for Genomic & Experimental Medicine (CGEM) uses genetics and genomics research to understand the mechanisms of disease and improve disease prediction, prevention and treatment outcomes.
