University of Exeter researchers are leading an interdisciplinary studentship combining computational genomics with experimental biology to study fat distribution. The project integrates population genetics, regulatory genomics, and iPSC-derived adipocytes, with CRISPR-based perturbations to test causal variants.
The partnership with Cambridge provides access to advanced stem-cell facilities and high-content assays, supported by EPSRC funding.
