Bailey Laboratory
The Bailey Laboratory focuses on unravelling the molecular pathogenesis of genetic disease and cancers. Through our better understanding of normal biology, we seek to develop novel molecular biomedicine solutions for disease.
About the Bailey Laboratory
The Bailey Laboratory uses multi-disciplinary approaches to understand the complex molecular aetiology of disease. Our molecular, cellular, genetic, biochemical and bioinformatic expertise underpins our research vision.
We functionally characterise tumour suppressor genes and master transcriptional regulators and examine how they are impacted by disease-causing mutations or gene dysregulation. Our ‘multi-omics’ approaches enable us to capture the whole biological landscape of disease pathogenesis.
Furthermore, we are adopting a host-focused approach to improving adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies for rare diseases. Our goal is to enable targeted gene therapies to be delivered at a lower dose.
