For more than half a century University of Edinburgh's research has been dedicated to understanding human genetic disease.

Today they continue to apply clinical and scientific expertise, harnessing the power of complex data, to improve health, and the lives of patients and their families.

As well as delivering outstanding research, the institute creates a vibrant scientific community and a friendly research environment rich in both scientific and social opportunities.
