Posted by , on 28 October 2023

Location: University of East Anglia

Closing Date: 20 November 2023

💥 💥 💥 Please share and pass on! I am delighted to have a PhD project available in my lab in the BioMedical Research Centre at the University of East Anglia funded by the NRPDTP Doctoral Training Partnership💥💥💥

Project title is “Better (methy)late than never: Deciphering the role of DNA methylation in blood cell development” where we will map the global methylome of developmental hematopoiesis and interrogate the precise role of DNMTs. 🔬 🧬 🩸
