Publications
The Centre’s research is built upon three core pillars, which guide our strategic priorities and research focus.
Inflammation and Infection
Investigating the role of microbiome dysbiosis, bacteriophages, inflammation, and immune responses in health and disease.
DNA and Genetic Disease
Studying DNA damage and repair mechanisms, and how non-coding RNA impacts these processes, to understand their implications in disease progression and therapy.
Exercise and Behaviour Adaptation
Develop and investigate lifestyle and physical interventions to change behaviour for improved health and wellbeing outcomes.
