Rare diseases
We aim to identify genetic causes of rare diseases, so improving rates of diagnosis, and enabling studies to develop and validate treatments.
We recruit affected participants and their relatives across several disease areas, including infection and immunity, neuroscience, rare cancers and cardiovascular disease.

D-CYPHR
We have created the DNA, Children + Young People's Health Resource (D-CYPHR), with the aim of getting young people involved in research.
Since most research is carried out in adults, this research will help us understand the origins of disease, which often starts in childhood, as well as identify ways in which to prevent illnesses prior to adulthood.
COVID-19
We have created a special COVID-19 BioResource to support the rapidly expanding research in this field.
Studies are already well underway, with some completed. We have developed an application process specifically for those researching into COVID-19.

Healthy population
We are very grateful for the support and goodwill of our participants. Their help is vital to our ongoing success.
Please get in touch if you are willing to discuss taking part in a research study. We welcome enquiries from anyone with or without a health condition.
