Research areas
Our research is focused on six key themes.
Bioinformatics
We are turning complex data into new knowledge to improve human health with specialised expertise, new data generation platforms and analysis tools.
Cancer
We are investigating why cancer develops in the first place, as well as finding new ways to treat, diagnose and prevent it.
Healthy Ageing
We are finding ways to address the challenges associated with osteoporosis, neurodegenerative diseases, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Immunology
We are researching the immune cells and signalling pathways involved in inflammation and immune responses, with a major focus on type 1 diabetes.
Infectious Disease
Every day around the world, millions of people are tested for infectious diseases – whether it be influenza, Hepatitis, HIV or COVID-19. Keeping us all safe and well relies on the accuracy of this testing.
Regenerative Medicine
We are using regenerative approaches to protect and repair tissue following disease, trauma and cancer treatment.
