Genomic Instability

Cell and molecular biologists, genomic scientists, bioinformaticians and clinical geneticists are working to better understand the mechanisms of cancer and inherited disorders and to translate this knowledge to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer and inherited conditions.

Funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK, BloodWise, Health and Care Research Wales, as well many other research charities, the work undertaken in the sub-division aims to build on our existing areas strengths.
