Watch Again - Professor Nicole Soranzo - Sanger Seminar and Q&A session

The genetic basis of common traits and diseases
Professor Nicole Soranzo is a group leader at the Sanger Institute, seeking to unravel the spectrum of human genetic variation associated with cardiometabolic diseases, and its interaction with non-genetic and environmental cues.
Find out how the human genome influences the risk of common diseases in the UK population by watching our free, online seminar and Q&A session at the link below.

COVID-19 research at the Sanger Institute

We are committed to tracking, understanding and combatting COVID-19. Our staff sequence thousands of virus genomes and use the data to trace transmission, inform public health measures and monitor for new variants of the virus. We also work to understand how the virus interacts with our cells, and to develop new diagnostics

Why do #COVID19 patients have such diverse symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic to severe?

New research from @emblebi, @sangerinstitute and collaborators has discovered differing immune responses as one factor.
