Professor Peter Donnelly tells us how genetics helps us to understand common diseases and develop new drugs. Understanding which variations in our DNA affect susceptibility to diseases can provide new insights into the disease process and lead to new treatments. Professor Peter Donnelly leads large collaborative human genetic studies, and his group develops and applies statistical methods to extract maximal information from the large datasets generated by genomic studies.

Dr Krina Zondervan talks about endometriosis, an incapacitating women's health condition. Endometriosis is a gynaecological condition, which often causes severe pelvic pain and may lead to infertility. In women suffering from endometriosis, cells similar to those lining the uterus appear and flourish in areas outside the uterine cavity. Causes of endometriosis remain unknown and treatments are limited to either surgery or the use of hormonal drugs. Dr Krina Zondervan studies genetic, molecular and environmental factors influencing this complex disorder.
