Defining the Epigenome in Tendon Ageing
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
One hallmark of ageing is the accumulation of epigenetic alterations. There is a clear link between age and increasing incidence of tendon injury suggesting that the mechanical integrity of tendon declines with age. Read more
Epigenetic control of transcription factor regulation of adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus
In the adult brain, new neurons are continuously generated in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). This neurogenesis process is highly regulated and consists of cell proliferation, neuronal differentiation, neuronal maturation and survival. Read more
Epigenetic regulation of skin wound healing
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Skin in the largest organ in the human body consisting of epidermis, dermis and subcutis. It also contains epithelial appendages, including hair follicles and sweat glands. Read more
Evaluation of RNA Epigenetic modifications as non-invasive biomarkers for human diseases
The proposed project is within the broad area of biomedical genomics for healthy ageing. Globally, the major focus is to identify biomarkers for human diseases, that can help early diagnosis and prognosis of the disease towards a better management and a better quality of life for an ageing population.

Cancer: Epigenetic therapy using microbubble-mediated drug delivery for colorectal cancer
The project is an interdisciplinary, pre-clinical study that aims to investigate the response of human tumour cells to treatment with epigenetic inhibitors (including DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, HDAC inhibitors and/or vitamin C), as a potential combination therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC). Read more
Deciphering a novel anti-ageing epigenetic programme
Over two decades of intense research in the field of epigenetics have produced compelling evidence that chromatin modifications are crucial for processes such as DNA repair, transcription, splicing, mitosis, meiosis, and in the preservation of the epigenetic memory of cells. Read more

Epigenetic regulation of exophers (extracellular vesicles) biogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans model organism
There are three main extracellular vesicles (EVs) categories. exosomes, microvesicles, and exophers. While EVs belonging to the first two categories are well characterized, the third class of EVs, exophers, was discovered very recently. Read more
Epigenetic regulation in heart failure and cardiac sudden death
A large proportion of heart failure patients die from cardiac sudden death (SCD), a direct result of lethal ventricular arrhythmias, which is the principal cause of mortality from heart disease worldwide and remains a major unresolved public health problem. Read more
Decoding the epigenetic mechanisms of drug resistance in aggressive breast cancers
Breast cancers pose a major health burden to modern world as being the most common cancer in women. Estrogen receptor (ER), the classical marker of 70% these cancers, is the nuclear receptor important for cancer progression. Read more
Utilising Long Read Sequencing Technology for Improved Cancer Diagnosis
Genetic diagnostics currently forms a key part of the care pathway for cancer patients, with results being used to plan patient care and treatment. Read more
Metabolic programming: Role of micronutrient (B12) deficiency and associated epigenetic marks
The global epidemic of childhood obesity is a major public health issue. Although current adverse lifestyle (nutrition and physical inactivity) contributes to obesity, a growing body of evidence links early life nutritional adversity to the development of obesity and metabolic disorders in children.

Cancer epigenetics and bioinformatics PhD project
About the Project. We are seeking a highly motivated student with high GPA preferably with knowledge of the following areas. bioinformatics, epigenetics/genetics/genomics. Read more
Characterization of the evolution of DNA methylation readers across eukaryotes
Supervisors: Dr Alexandre de Mendoza Soler and Dr Paul Hurd. Funding. ERC Starting Grant. Deadline: 15th June 2023. Read more
Epigenetic signalling in cancer
The advent of population scale tumour genomics has revealed that the genes encoding proteins that normally act to regulate chromatin structure are amongst the most frequently mutated genes in a range of cancers. Read more
Genome to phenome: exploiting multi-omics and deep learning strategies to decipher the importance of isoforms in animal health and behaviour. Epigenetics. Transcriptomics. Proteogenomics. Bioinformatics.
Overview. The molecular process that leads to multiple mRNA transcripts being produced from the same segment of DNA (aka gene) is known as alternative splicing (AS). Read more
