The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics is a research institute of the University of Oxford, funded by the University, the Wellcome Trust and numerous other sponsors. Our objective is to undertake research into the genetic basis of common conditions. Specifically, we aim to: identify the genes and DNA variants involved; understand how these DNA variants may contribute to risk of disease in the population; understand how such genetic factors contribute biologically to a disease process; and develop statistical and experimental tools to support these investigations. We work through the Centre's multidisciplinary research teams in human genetics, functional genomics, bioinformatics, statistical genetics, genomic epidemiology and structural biology, and by collaborating with research groups across the world.
