The fundamentals of gene expression (alternative splicing, imprinting, methylation, transcription, translation, DNA repair and DNA replication)
Chromosome structure/biology and the fundamental biology of mitosis and meiosis
Biochemistry
Chemistry and chemical biology
Biophysics
Structural biology
Proteomics
Bioinformatics
Mathematical modelling
Nanotechnology
