Exploring genetic influences on health and disease
Research in the Gene Structure and Function Laboratory (GSFL) centres around the role of genetic variation in the development and treatment of disease.
Our primary research efforts are in pharmacogenetics and genomics, genetic and epigenetic factors involved in neuropsychiatric disorders and their treatment, and application of new technologies for genome analysis.
