Red, itchy, unpredictable – eczema is more than just a skincare issue. It is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects people’s day-to-day lives. We explore what it is, what remains unclear and how researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute are getting beneath the surface to find out more.

Discover how the Wellcome Sanger Institute has been at the forefront of spatial research, exploring how trillions of cells organise, communicate and work together to form a human being. For more than 15 years, Sanger scientists have pushed the boundaries of modern genomics, helping to map the human body in greater detail – cell by cell.
