MRC Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine

The MRC Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine is a research center focused on understanding how genes and DNA influence health and disease. It studies the genetic factors that contribute to conditions like cancer, Alzheimer's, and rare disorders. By exploring the molecular mechanisms behind these illnesses, the institute aims to develop new ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent them. It combines expertise from genetics, molecular biology, and medicine to advance scientific knowledge and improve patient care. Located in Edinburgh, Scotland, it collaborates with hospitals, universities, and industry to translate research into real-world medical benefits.
