Division of Functional Genetics

Research in the Functional Genetics Division aims to improve understanding of how genes function across the animal lifespan.

Sustainable Agriculture

We aim to improve understanding of how genes function across the animal lifespan, and how they regulate fundamental biological processes that underpin productivity and health in livestock and poultry. 

Enhancing Health 

We develop and exploit novel stem cell, organoid and embryo models together with gene editing to advance our understanding of the rules of life, at the levels of cells, tissues and whole animals.
