Clinical Imaging
We have world-class clinical imaging facilities aimed at better understanding, diagnosing and treating disease. Our clinical studies feedback into molecular research, taking learnings from the clinical setting to ask further questions in model systems. We have particular strengths in cardiovascular imaging and our facilities integrate clinical care with the latest research.
Cellular and Preclinical Imaging
Using a range of imaging modalities, our researchers can probe – at the molecular level – the events that underpin cellular health and dysfunction.
Clinical Studies and Trials
We are committed to translating our innovative research into clinical benefit. From new methods of diagnosing chronic conditions, to finding the latest treatments for diabetes, cancer, heart disease, stroke and rare diseases, our department is involved in hundreds of clinical studies every year.
Genetics, Genomics and Genome Biology
Employing a range of genetic techniques, we probe the fundamental causes of disease. Our expertise spans identification of causative genes in rare inherited diseases, through to elucidating complex gene regulatory pathways and exploration of susceptibility to common disease through genome-wide association studies. We use cutting edge techniques to manipulate the genome to determine how particular genes work and study how variants in regulatory DNA may contribute to common disease. An important overall aim is to improve the management of human genetic diseases.
Computational Biology, Statistics and Bioinformatics
We have cutting edge expertise in a range of statistical and mathematical modelling techniques that allow us to interrogate large data sets – from the ‘big data’ of genomics through to magnetic resonance imaging and clinical trials. We are also home to the Medical Research Council WIMM Centre for Computational Biology – a hub for accelerating progress in genomics analysis and single cell biology.
Emerging Therapies and Drug Discovery
We seek to bridge the ‘innovation gap’ between ‘basic’ research in the laboratory and tangible benefits for patients. Our researchers aim to develop novel approaches to treating disease and we have particular strengths in evaluating technologies such as antibody therapy and gene therapy, and using new techniques for target discovery. Many of our researchers collaborate with biotech and industry partners to accelerate progress along the drug discovery pipeline and assess these new treatments in the clinic.
Cellular and Molecular Biology
A raft of cellular and molecular biology techniques underpin much of the work we do to elucidate the mechanisms of disease. We use established techniques to answer new questions and also develop our own novel and unique methodologies to drive further innovation.
