Our research focuses on the physical and mental health of Children and Adolescents.

Our research characterises how the environment during human development contributes to risk of chronic disease, underpinning resilience to challenges in later life.

Examining how clinical and environmental factors can affect brain development.

Our research is centred around understanding the mechanisms of disease, using contemporary techniques and bioinformatics to identify and understand the basis of human disease and translating this for patient benefit.

We explore pathogens causing infectious diseases of global importance. Our research involves understanding how pathogens interact with their hosts and using this information to develop new vaccines, antimicrobials and diagnostics.
