Genetics and Genomic Medicine

The Genetics and Genomic Medicine Research & Teaching Department is a multi-disciplinary group of researchers with an international reputation for research into rare genetic disorders. Our aims are to deliver better diagnostics through identification of novel disease causing genes and accurate disease biomarkers for targeting of therapies. In order to support our powerful genomics and mass spectrometry technology platforms we create and integrate multi-omics data and its healthcare applications. We develop and run trials of novel therapies in rare disease patient cohorts.
