University of Exeter invites applications for a PhD studentship focused on using cfDNA sequencing to monitor placental gene activity across pregnancy and to link variants with perinatal traits and APOs.
Under supervision, you will map placental cell-type markers from scRNA-seq data, integrate with cfDNA data, and develop computational tools to predict gene activity from nucleosomal footprints, combining GWAS with longitudinal expression data.
