More information

 

The Children’s Medical Research Institute conducts fundamental genetic research to understand the genes important for health and development, and the underlying causes of disease. We have four major areas of research: embryonic development and birth defects, cancer, nerve cell signalling, and gene therapy. One in 20 children suffers from some kind of chronic illness, congenital abnormality or genetic disease. By studying the key changes that occur during development we can identify when, where and how faults may occur. If small problems can be detected at this stage they could be prevented from becoming big problems, or treated to reduce their impact on our children’s quality of life.
