Molecular genetics and genomics
Our molecular genetics and genomics research encompasses the application and analysis of targeted and high-throughput approaches to better understand the function and regulation of genetic material across all domains of life. Vertebrates, plants, insects, microorganisms and microbial communities are subject to innovative genomics methodologies to create knowledge and solutions for a range of challenges in human health, food security and environmental protection.
