Neurogenetics Professor George C. Ebers The main research interests of the Ebers Research group at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics are to investigate complex neurological diseases. It is hoped that the investigation of the epidemiology, genetics and environmental factors involved in these diseases may provide clues towards understanding the specific disease processes and may one day help in developing better treatments and quality of life for individuals. It is our belief that studies of large cohorts are required to understand complex diseases thought to be caused by changes in many genes, with each individual gene having a small effect. The study of several different diseases will allow the group to experience different aspects of the study of genetics. Also, simultaneous study of epidemiology and epigenetic causes of disease will allow a better understanding of the remaining effect of genes, once other factors have been removed from consideration.
