Research: Priority Research Areas

Genomics
Many human maladies have an underlying genetic basis. The Genomics groups, led by Dr. Robert Hancock, will utilize advanced functional genomics and bioinformatics to investigate the relationship between the phenotype of the disease and the underlying genetic mutations. More...

Host Defense
Led by Dr. Stuart Turvey, this priority research area focuses on lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque feugiat lacus mauris. Nulla eget tortor vel nibh sagittis lobortis. Vestibulum nec tortor augue, sed rutrum arcu. Curabitur sed dui mauris, at bibendum leo. Etiam consequat, eros at hendrerit convallis, mauris erat faucibus metus, quis viverra odio neque vitae odio. Quisque hendrerit lectus quis magna lobortis aliquet.

Infection Epidemiology
Led by Dr. Julie Bettinger, this priority research area focuses on understanding the importance of host susceptibility at a population level and how this can be modified through interventions. Through targeted population-based studies the scope and importance of identified genetic variations can be quantified and interventions designed to address important differences in susceptibility (such as vaccination) can be measured and evaluated.

Clinical Trials
Led by Dr. David Scheifele, this priority research area focuses on lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque feugiat lacus mauris.
