Research is carried out in the home Department of Medical Genetics located on level 6 of the Addenbrooke’s Treatment Centre (Professor Eamonn Maher, Professor Serena Nik-Zainal, Professor Richard Sandford, Dr Leonardo Bottolo, Professor Marc Tischkowitz, Dr Ruth Casey, Assistant Professors Dr Timothy Hearn and Dr James Whitworth groups) and also in the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (Professor Fiona Karet, Emeritus Professor Lucy Raymond, Professor Evan Reid, Professor David Rubinsztein and Professor Geoff Woods groups).
