| Noor Kalsheker studies humoral control of genes of the serine proteinase inhibitor family which regulate key biological pathways and how functional genetic variants contribute to complex diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and chronic lung disease. |
|
| Linda Morgan is investigating the genetic basis of two related disorders of pregnancy - pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Identification of susceptibility genes provides valuable insights into the mechanism of disease leading to preventative or therapeutic strategies. |
|
| Kevin Morgan aims to identify genetic factors that influence susceptibility to Alzheimer's or lung disease, thereby possibly highlighting areas suitable for therapeutic intervention. Genomic and proteomic approaches are being used to identify new candidate genes and biomarkers. |
