Our mission is to advance the understanding of genetically-related conditions through multi-disciplinary research.
The Centre is composed of scientific research groups that work to understand the genetic foundations of human variation and disease. Scientists in the Centre work in diverse fields, developing and applying statistical, computational, and experimental methods to a wide range of medical conditions. The main areas of research include bioinformatics, cardiovascular disease, genomics, immunity and inflammation, metabolism, neurogenetics, statistical genetics and transgenics.
