Genomics Research Centre Professional Services
The Genomics Research Centre investigates the genetic basis of disease. Research is focused on common chronic human disorders that have a significant genetic component such as migraine, high blood pressure, cancer, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis. Scientists within the Centre have expertise in gene mapping and the characterisation of gene dysfunction and have the ability to translate this information to both diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes. In addition, the Centre is aware of the important ethical and psychological issues associated with genetics and consequently is actively engaged in training Genetic Counsellors and Clinical Geneticists.
