Molecular and Cellular Biology
Our research at the cellular and molecular level seeks to better understand and manage some of society’s greatest health threats. Research groups are developing new vaccines, antibiotics, genetic therapies and diagnostics.
Research groups
Genetics and Genomics
By studying the patterns of inheritance of a particular disease trait/phenotype we are able to identify which gene, or genes, are responsible for causing the disease.
Experimental Therapeutics Laboratory
Aiming to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment by exploring novel immunotherapeutic approaches to treat cancer and other chronic and acute infections.
Mechanisms in Cell Biology and Diseases
Focussing on medical research relating to the endocytic network (endosomes and lysosomes) and its critical role in cell function.
Microbiology
Conducting important research aimed at addressing a variety of biological challenges affecting human and animal health.
