MSc by Research Genomics and Experimental Medicine in Edinburgh United Kingdom | The University of Edinburgh

The Centre for Genomics and Experimental Medicine (CGEM) at the University of Edinburgh operates within the MRC/University of Edinburgh Institute of Genetics and Cancer (IGC). CGEM focuses on applying genetic and genomic science to uncover disease mechanisms and develop innovative treatment approaches. Our work has consistently earned top marks in national research evaluations.

We conduct comprehensive analyses of populations, families, and individuals to examine diverse health conditions. Employing cutting-edge techniques in genetics, epigenetics, genomics, statistics, bioinformatics, and molecular biology across both model systems and clinical research, we systematically explore disease origins. These insights help enhance disease forecasting, prevention, and treatment outcomes. Our applied research includes creating new therapeutics and optimizing existing treatments through genetically-guided clinical trials.
