The team will all aim to improve diagnosis, treatment and care in the South West and across the world across five core themes: neurodegeneration; rehabilitation; diabetes; genetics; clinical mycology

UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative

Acting as a hub for the UK functional genomics community, we are supporting partnerships between leading researchers, clinicians and industry. By using advanced tools like gene editing, disease-relevant cell models and AI we aim to explore how genetic changes contribute to disease.

Living Systems Institute (LSI)

The Living Systems Institute (LSI) pioneers interdisciplinary science aimed at understanding and controlling the individual and collective properties of cells, the basic units of all life.
