Improving outcomes for individuals and families affected by genetic disease. [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Nigel Laing (Principal investigator)

Brief description I aim to reduce illness and death caused by inherited diseases, particularly in unborn children, newborns and infants. I will do this by finding causes of inherited diseases we don’t yet know, investigating treatments for inherited diseases and developing better methods of diagnosing inherited diseases. I will also investigate methods of finding carriers of recessive diseases before they have affected children, so that they can avoid having children affected with severe diseases.
