我们结合最新的计算和实验技术来研究我们的基因组如何控制人和人群中分子，细胞和组织的功能。半个多世纪以来，我们的研究一直致力于理解人类遗传疾病。今天，我们继续利用我们的临床和科学专业知识，利用复杂数据的力量来改善患者及其家人的健康状况以及他们的生活。除了提供出色的研究成果，该研究所还创建了一个充满生机的科学共同体和一个充满科学和社会机遇的友好研究环境。我们的博士学位和理学硕士课程利用与我们的科学主题（疾病机制，生物医学基因组学和基因组调控）相关的不同研究学科（遗传学，分子生物学，生物化学和细胞生物学）的优势
The MRC Human Genetics Unit discovers how changes in our DNA impact our lives. Research excellence We combine the latest computational and experimental technologies to investigate how our genomes work to control the function of molecules, cells and tissues in people and populations. For more than half a century our research has been dedicated to understanding human genetic disease. Today we continue to apply our clinical and scientific expertise, harnessing the power of complex data, to improve health, and the lives of patients and their families. As well as delivering outstanding research, the institute creates a vibrant scientific community and a friendly research environment rich in both scientific and social opportunities. What will I learn Our PhD and MSc programmes harness strengths in different research disciplines: genetics molecular biology biochemistry cell biology These are tied to our scientific themes: disease mechanisms biomedical genomics genome regulation Our programmes also provides a strong focus on computational biology, and state of the art imaging as part of the Edinburgh Super-Resolution Imaging Consortium. Over 30 principal investigators based in the MRC HGU contribute to these cross-disciplinary programmes spanning fundamental to clinical research. Further information can be found on our Graduate Research and Training website: MRC Human Genetics - Research and Training Self-funded applicants We also accept all self-fundingexternal funding applicants. We strongly recommend you apply as early as possible, at least one month prior to entry.
