The IGMM partnership constitutes one of the largest aggregates of human molecular genetics research capacity in the UK, and brings together over 500 research and support scientists in a single, scientific endeavour.
MRC Human Genetics Unit, MRC IGMM University of Edinburgh
Director, Professor Nick Hastie
At the forefront of research into human genetics, the MRC Human Genetics Unit advances our understanding of the genetic factors implicated in human disease and development. By understanding the molecular basis of genetic disease and human development, scientists are able to identify genetic risk factors in common disease and to investigate opportunities for possible new treatments.
