Our mission and why it matters
We aim to deliver world class interdisciplinary research for children with infectious, immunological and inflammatory diseases. Our strategic aims are:
- to combat pathogen resistance through screening and mechanistic studies to develop diagnostics and novel/re purposed therapeutics.
- to understand disease mechanisms (genomics and multiomics) and develop novel/targeted therapies for inflammatory disorders across all ages.
- to develop new and improved gene and cell therapies for genetic disorders, haematological malignancies and transplantation and explore the mechanisms that underlie malignant transformation and transplant rejection.
