Genomics researchers within the Imaging, Genomics and Proteomics Research Group identify, characterise and clinically translate, the genetic and environmental aetiological risk factors underlying the development of common complex human diseases. Research tools include: whole genome expression profiles; gene expression validation by real-time qPCR; down to bespoke nanoscale micro-devices.

Within this theme Transcriptomics research focuses on

• the development and integration of quantitative molecular biology
• experimental procedures in conjunction with instrumentation and miniaturization for nucleic acid
• measurements related to disease

Expertise in the genetic basis of disease, in handling and interpreting complex genomic population data as well as in the efficient and sophisticated management of biological samples brings together a multi-disciplinary team researching human and animal disease.
