MRC WIMM researchers talk about their research on rare diseases
To mark rare disease day we asked our researchers to tell us more about the rare conditions that they study, and why their research is important.

The 5-year programme award will support research on the DNA repair mechanisms that protect cancer cells from therapy, informing the development of future treatments.
Read moreResearchers develop treatments for aggressive blood cancer
Just three days after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, the wife of Sky Sports presenter Simon Thomas tragically died. Gemma Thomas was one of more than 3,000 people diagnosed in the UK/year.

Our researchers brought science to students around Oxfordshire (and further afield) as part of this year’s British Science Week.
Read moreResearchers zero in on causes of skin inflammation
Our researchers have discovered an unexpected way by which different pathways of the skin’s defence system interact, and how they can go astray in skin inflammation. This suggests a new line of investigation to develop treatments for conditions such as eczema.
