The Edge Magazine
Bringing you the latest research and discovery.
The Edge: Genetics
People have known for thousands of years that parents pass traits to their children, but it is only relatively recently that our technology has caught up to our curiosity, enabling us to delve into the mystery of how this inheritance occurs, and the implications for predicting, preventing and treating disease.
The Edge: Infection
We are tackling the problem of drug-resistant bacteria through developing new diagnostics and treatments, and by empowering the community with knowledge on how to fight back against the threat of superbugs.
The Edge: Inflammation
Our scientists are delving into inflammation at the molecular level to advance our knowledge and to make strides towards better outcomes for people with inflammatory diseases.
