The Epigenomics of Common Disease

Project Leader: Christopher Bell

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many variations but their effect sizes are modest and the majority of causality remains unexplained for most common diseases. The aim of this project is to integrate GWAS with epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) to gain a more complete picture of the aetiology of common diseases, including T1D, T2D and UC.
