Mapping the Dynamic Landscape of Genome-wide DNA Methylation, Hydroxymethylation and Transcriptomic Variation in Parkinson Disease
EF 2014-15
Résumé
Neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, affect millions of people in the western world. Although some familial forms of these diseases have been identified, the large majority of neurodegenerative diseases are of unknown origin. Here, we will use a systems medicine approach where we combine our expertise in computational biology, genomics, animal modelling and neurology in order to identify epigenetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease.
