The University of Edinburgh is home to a number of institutes and centres focusing on specific areas of genomics research, led by distinguished scientists. Centre for Engineering Biology The Centre’s research is broad and deep, addressing a diversity of scientific questions with wide ranging impacts for society, industry, the economy and our planet. It aims to build on existing strengths in Synthetic Biology, attracting new interdisciplinary collaborations and driving impact. Centre for Immunity, Infection and Evolution The Centre aims to integrate scientists whose research interests span across traditional biological disciplines. Innogen Institute The Innogen Institute is a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh and The Open University that produces high quality research and supports the delivery of innovation that is profitable, safe and societally useful. Institute of Cell Biology Research in Cell Biology is directed towards an understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underpin genomic and cellular structure and function. Institute of Genetics and Cancer One of the largest centres worldwide for human genetics and human medicine, the Institute of Genetics and Cancer has over 500 research and support scientists. Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences The Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences currently consists of 11 research groups working in four overlapping areas of plant and fungal biology. MRC Human Genetics Unit The MRC Human Genetics Unit discovers how changes in our DNA impact our lives, combining the latest computational and experimental technologies to investigate how our genomes work to control the function of molecules, cells and tissues. The Roslin Institute The Roslin Institute is a world-leading institute for animal genetics and genomics research, and veterinary and human medicine. UK Dementia Research Institute The UK Dementia Research Institute at The University of Edinburgh is one of seven centres across the UK, seeking to find new ways to diagnose and treat the condition. Centre for Genomic & Experimental Medicine CGEM uses genomics to understand the mechanisms of disease and improve disease prediction, prevention and prognosis. Edinburgh Neuroscience Integrating basic and clinical research, Edinburgh Neuroscience advances understanding, diagnostics and therapeutics of diseases of the nervous system. Institute for Regeneration and Repair A world class research institute, the Institute for Regeneration and Repair is home to over 500 scientists and clinicians studying tissue regeneration and repair to advance human health. Institute of Evolutionary Biology At the Institute of Evolutionary Biology we study evolution in the broadest possible sense, from virtually every angle and using a great range of organisms and techniques. Institute of Immunology & Infection Research in the Institute for Immunology and Infection encompasses immunology, parasite biology, parasite immunology and the RNA biology of infection. Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology Our research aims to uncover fundamental mechanisms responsible for the stability, transmission and expression of genetic information in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The Queen's Medical Research Institute A world class clinical research facility, the Institute comprises four strategic Centres, addressing major disease challenges. The Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology The Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology is one of fifteen UK-based Wellcome Trust funded Centres, three of which are in Scotland. Usher Institute The Usher Institute works with people, populations and their data to understand and advance the health of individuals and populations through innovative collaborations in a global community.
