Genetics and genomics

IMB researchers have discovered a link between the genetic risk of depression and heart disease in women

Some studies have shown increased coffee consumption is associated with neurodevelopmental difficulties including ADHD but is coffee really the cause?

IMB research has failed to find strong links between drinking coffee during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental difficulties in children

Analysis of previously unstudied areas of the human genome suggests people with more copies of ribosomal DNA have higher risks of developing disease.

Two IMB researchers have been recognised in the prestigious Australian Academy of Science 2024 honorific awards.

Snow Medical Research Foundation has awarded IMB researchers $8 million to dramatically advance the use of genomics to prevent chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

IMB won a third of the accolades at the Life Sciences Queensland GENE Awards
