Cancer and genetics

Mae'r cynnwys hwn ar gael yn Saesneg yn unig.

To drive research for the benefit of patients affected by cancer and inherited disease in Wales and beyond.

Our translational research focuses on the genetic and molecular basis of human disease with a particular interest in cancer and inherited conditions.

Aims

  • understand the genetic basis of disease with a focus on cancer and inherited conditions
  • understand the mechanisms of tumour initiation and progression
  • employ information from basic and clinical studies to develop new diagnostics and therapeutic approaches in cancer and inherited conditions
  • understand the genetic basis for inter-individual variations in therapeutic response.
