Molecular genetics research within the School of Molecular Biosciences ranges from:

the analysis of DNA sequence and epigenetic variation in health and disease, through structural analysis of DNA -protein interactions to genomic approaches
to the analysis of gene function within cells, organisms and populations & the development of genetics-informed therapeutic approaches.

An additional focus is on gene-environment interactions, including nutrition and the microbiome in animals, and temperature, light and salinity in plants. Research advances are impacting in a number of areas, most notably to problems in healthy ageing, food security and synthetic biology.

Topics covered within the theme include:

site specific recombination and transposition
inherited human disease and variation
animal models of human disease and development of molecular therapies
insect integrative physiology and ageing
epigenetic and nuclear organisational responses to environmental stimuli in plants

Research within the Molecular Genetics theme complements genetic research ongoing elsewhere across the College. We also maintain strong links with the West of Scotland Genetic Services at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Glasgow. Our work is very well supported by next-generation DNA sequencing, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, and other multi-omic systems approaches accessed through Glasgow Polyomics. Molecular Genetics staff also make major research-led teaching contributions to our highly rated BSc Honours degree in Genetics and a variety of masters programmes.
