MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
Professor Doug Higgs
Director of MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
The unit was established to apply molecular and cell biology approaches to haematological and related diseases. In addition, the unit is interested in the regulation of the developmental changes of human haemoglobin and the way in which these are modified in patients with inherited disorders of haemoglobin synthesis. The unit studies patients from the UK, but also from a widely dispersed network of collaborative groups throughout the world. It also runs a prenatal diagnosis programme for the major haemoglobin disorders for the whole of the UK. The unit collaborates closely with other groups in the Institute of Molecular Medicine.
