Inspired by nature, Peel Therapeutics scientists look to evolution to find the next life changing drug.

Diverse genetic and environmental factors such as stress or UV exposure can spark autoimmune diseases. 

Researchers discovered a new gene required for pancreas development, but much to their surprise, they found that it was absent in all animals except primates.

Multiomics data analysis identified structural mutations in tumor genomes with important implications for cancer treatment.

Direct cardiac reprogramming relies on the principles of transdifferentiation to convert specialized cells into new cell types that help repair the heart.

Researchers have uncovered a collection of previously unknown genetic changes in Hodgkin lymphoma cells and reconstructed a timeline of when they develop, paving the way for new treatments.

With diseases like cancer and kidney disease on the rise in Africa, Segun Fatumo and his team are sequencing the genomes of 100,000 Nigerians to understand why.

While some pediatric brain cancers have known genetic causes, many do not. Three-dimensional profiling revealed new disease mechanisms and drug targets.

Scientists use metagenomics to explore the viral community inhabiting the human body.

In a journey that spanned the genomes of more than 150,000 Icelanders, archival samples, and a fetus in utero, researchers not only identified genetic variants missing from the population, but also proved that these missing mutations cause three rare genetic diseases.
