University of Exeter offers a PhD studentship addressing the NF1 genotype–phenotype gap using data science and functional genomics. The project combines in vitro and in vivo analyses, including zebrafish models, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and AI-based approaches to map variants to signalling pathways and organismal phenotypes.
The student will establish a humanised zebrafish platform, apply precise genome editing such as prime editing, and study tissue patterning and drug responses using
