Molecular Medicine
We apply new discoveries in the mechanisms of immune-mediated and blood disorders in order to identify new tests, targets, technologies and therapies, across a wide range of diseases,
Strong in stem cell biology and gene and cell therapy
Capabilities in -omics, gene regulation, bioinformatics and cellular imaging
Our research questions
- How do stem cells produce mature blood cells, how is this process altered in disease, and how can we improve the prognosis of patients with both inherited and acquired forms of blood and immune disorders?
- How does the immune system protect tissues and barrier surfaces throughout life, what role does inflammation play in tissue damage, and how can we harness immune mechanisms to develop precision medicine approaches?
- How can we develop new cell and gene therapies, including in vivo delivery strategies, improved methods of genome editing and cell specific targeting?
- How can we build capabilities across molecular medicine to catalyse research and translation?
