Epigenetics
The section studies epigenetically regulated processes in the cell, with an emphasis on stem cell development and its consequences on gene regulation, DNA replication and chromosome organisation. Another focus area is the relationship between epigenetic regulation and important processes such as gene expression, cell cycle control and the development of cancer. To analyse these processes we rely on cell biological, biochemical, genomic and in vivo methods.

Brain Repair and Dysfunction
Research in this section focuses on understanding neural development and plasticity, the nature of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and improving diagnoses and treatments. Experimental methods include cell and molecular approaches and in vivo imaging, particularly PET and MRI.

Genes and Metabolism
This section aims to understand the molecular and cellular basis of a variety of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders and apply this understanding to improved healthcare. The groups use a combination of approaches, including biochemical, genomic, physiological and imaging techniques.
