The Babraham Institute performs world-leading research into the biological mechanisms underpinning ageing, development and the maintenance of health. We have three research focuses;

Epigenetics - Studying modifications to DNA that affect gene activity, which helps to explain how our environment and lifestyle can affect our behavior or likelihood of getting diseases.

Immunology - The study of the immune system, which helps to prevent disease in our bodies. Research in this area can lead to improvements in vaccines, combat autoimmune disease, develop tumour immunotherapy or improve the efficiency of organ transplantation.

Signalling - Researching communication within and between the cells in our body, which underpins how cells and organs develop and respond to changes in their environment, vital for maintaining health.
