University of Exeter is offering a PhD studentship focused on Alzheimer's disease-related epigenomics. The project integrates cell-type-specific DNA methylation, ATAC-seq and H3K27ac data to identify regulatory loci within brain cells and prioritize candidates for functional validation.
Selected loci will be functionally interrogated using targeted CRISPR epigenome editing in hiPSC-derived neural cells (cortical neurons/microglia), with downstream analyses of gene expression and cellular
