CAGE: Consortium for the Architecture of Gene Expression [ 2013 - 2016 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Peter Visscher (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Grant Montgomery

Brief description This research project is about understanding why some people are most susceptible to disease than others, by identifying genetic factors that influence the expression of genes that are important in disease. We will work with leaders in the field in Europe and the USA in an international research consortium to find genetic variants with an effect on gene expression and to link those genetic factors to disease. The project will provide new understanding about the biological basis of common diseases.
