Curry Group: Endothelial regulation of haemostasis in health and disease
We study the mechanisms by which vascular endothelial cells regulate haemostasis in health and in acquired bleeding disorders, namely trauma-induced coagulopathy, to better understand disease pathogenesis and identify novel therapeutic targets.
Cancer target identification and development
Our research interests lie in studying the molecular mechanisms of tumour growth and the target development. We focus on the impact of metabolism and epigenetic regulation on crosstalk between stromal cells and tumour cells in the tumour microenvironment. The ongoing investigated tumours include color…
Chakraverty Group: Haematopoietic Transplantation and Immunotherapy
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Our group is interested in developing novel immunotherapeutic approaches for leukaemia. Clinical approaches currently used include allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. While each of these approaches can…
Psaila Group: The tumour microenvironment in blood cancers
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
We focus on four key areas: (1) Dissecting how blood cancers create 'self-reinforcing' niches that promote clonal expansion and protect malignant clones from immunotherapies; (2) Development and application of human bone marrow organoids to study normal and malignant haematopoiesis and validate tar…
Davies Group: Genomics and Clinical Genome Editing
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
We are primarily interested in understanding how the genome functions and to leverage this to develop novel genome editing based cellular therapies
Sauka-Spengler Group: Gene Regulatory Networks in Development and Disease
We focus on systems level “big picture” approaches to understand gene regulation and build gene regulatory networks during development and disease in zebrafish, chick, lamprey and human models.
de Bruijn Group: Developmental Haematopoiesis
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
We study the embryonic origins of blood stem cells with the aim to inform the generation of these cells in culture, and ultimate produce clinically relevant blood stem cells for therapeutic purposes.
Higgs Group: Laboratory of Gene Regulation
We use state-of-the-art laboratory and computational approaches to understand how mammalian genes are switched on and off during development and differentiation and how this goes awry in human genetic diseases.
Mead Group: Haematopoietic Stem Cell Biology
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
The Haematopoietic Stem Cell Biology (HSCB) Laboratory is focused on understanding how the normal haematopoietic stem/progenitor hierarchy is disrupted during the development of myeloid malignancies. Our overarching aim is to improve the management of myeloproliferative neoplasms and related conditio…
Vyas Group: Biology and Treatment of Human Myeloid Cancers
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
We aim to understand the fundamental biological processes underlying normal and malignant haematopoiesis and translate this to improve patient outcomes through new rational therapies.
Kerr and Pezzella Group: Colorectal Clinical and Pathology Group
We lead colorectal cancer clinical trials, and study the basic biology of non-angiogenic and angiogenic tumours and mechanisms of vascular co-option.
Hughes Group: Genome Biology
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Using genomics, computational and synthetic biology approaches to understand how genes are regulated in health and disease.
Gill and Hyde Group: Gene Medicine Group
We are developing gene therapy for lung conditions, including the genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and neonatal lung conditions such as surfactant protein B (SPB) deficiency. We are also evaluating whether the lung can be used as a ‘protein factory’ to make therapeutic proteins such as antibodies.
Murphy, Roberts and Stanworth Group: Oxford Clinical Research in Transfusion Medicine
Increasing and disseminating the evidence-base to improve practice in Transfusion Medicine.
Goriely Group: Clinical genetics
We are using a human genetic approach that relies on the latest developments of Next Generation Sequencing technology to study the intimate relationship that exists between the occurrence of new mutations and the regulation of cell fate choices in the male germline. Because life-long production of sperm is…
Boultwood Group: Blood Cancer UK Molecular Haematology Unit
We study the molecular mechanisms involved in disease initiation and progression in the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) in order to better understand disease pathogenesis and to identify new therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for this disorder.
Milne Group: Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression in Leukaemia and Haematopoiesis
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Aberrant epigenetic changes are a driving force in many human cancers. The focus of our lab is centred on understanding how epigenetics impacts gene regulation so that this information can potentially be used to develop new therapeutic strategies.
Nerlov Group: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Genetics
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is the only stem cell therapy in routine clinical use, and it is also the cell type that gives rise to most blood cancers. We use single cell biology and genetics to understand how hematopoietic stem cells normally sustain blood formation, and how this process is alte…
