Distributed challenge-led research clusters working with the Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell to accelerate understanding of human disease using #MouseModels
Our Best Models Working Group can offer advice on the use of a range of model systems.
Next in our series highlighting the diverse expertise of our Working Group are Prof Matthew Guille and Dr Annie Godwin who work with Xenopus to recreate novel human gene variants thought to cause disease.

Nice place for a bit of work and hopefully some fun!
We recently welcomed Prof. Fiona Powrie and her team to the MRC CMM for the yearly Microbiome Cluster @mrcmousenetwork.bsky.social meeting. The Microbiome Cluster studies the impact of the microbiome on genetic diseases involving barrier surface malfunction.
