Chromatin Dynamics as a Driver of Disease Initiation and Development [ 2016 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Phillippa Taberlay (Principal investigator)

Brief description Epigenetic programming ensures that the right genes are expressed in the right amount, in the right cell type at the right time. Our OVERALL AIM is to identify how this programming is altered in certain cancers and dementias and to determine whether this is a cause or driver of disease. This study has great potential to identify the epigenetic marks that will be the best targets for new therapies.
