The GeneMappers conference has traditionally focused on novel concepts for the genetic dissection of common complex human diseases. This year the emphasis of the conference will be on exploring these themes in detail, with a particular focus on the contemporary methods and techniques that will take (...)

To date, genome-wide association studies have identified ~40 genetic risk variants for asthma and related allergic conditions. An important challenge we face is how to identify the genes that underlie these associations and, amongst these, how to determine if disruption of gene expression might (...)

Prof Thomas completed his Ph.D. at the University of Adelaide in 1994. He then moved to the National Institute for Medical Research (London) and completed a 3 year post-doctoral position with the late Dr. Rosa Beddington, who was a world leader in the field of developmental biology. In 1998, he (...)

Non-surgical obesity treatments are frequently ineffective, in part due to adaptive responses to energy restriction that increase the drive to eat and reduce metabolic rate. These adaptions oppose ongoing weight loss, and may also promote disordered eating and adversely affect body composition via (...)
