Scientific divisions

Driving discovery through collaborative science

Our work is powered by a multidisciplinary community of research teams organised into four scientific divisions.

Cancer
We investigate the factors that drive the development of cancers with the aim of finding new therapies that improve patient survival while maintaining their quality of life.
Immunity
We’re committed to understanding how our immune systems work and the relationship between dysfunction and disease. Our goal is to make discoveries that help in the prevention, treatment, and management of global health issues.
Molecular Sciences
Our molecular sciences division investigates how genetics, gene regulation, and the three-dimensional structures of dynamic cellular proteins shape health and disease.
Technology Sciences
Using advanced and emerging technologies to accelerate scientific discoveries by combining structural, chemical, and molecular biology with medicinal chemistry and high-throughput screening.
