Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Project Background. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations with health outcomes. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through a regulatory mechanism. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr J Min, Dr E Hannon, Prof J MIll, Dr GL Leyden
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

The genetics of human scarring – cross-cutting approaches to the understanding of human wound repair.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Repair of adult tissues involves a complex interplay of several key cell lineages and inevitably leads to formation of a fibrotic collagenous scar. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof N Timpson, Prof P Martin

Harnessing genetics of DNA methylation to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying human phenotypes.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. GWAS studies have discovered many genetic associations for traits and diseases, but it has been difficult to elucidate the functional consequences of these variants. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr J Min, Prof C Relton, Prof J MIll, Dr E Hannon, Dr G Hemani, Prof T Gaunt, Dr B Heijmans, Dr J Bell

Understanding psychiatric outcomes in children born with cleft lip and/or palate using genetics

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Cleft of the lip and/or palate is a common birth defect worldwide and occurs at a rate of one in 650 live births in the UK. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr E Stergiakouli, Dr S Lewis, Prof M J Owen, Dr M van den Bree

The genetic map of human molecular phenotypes

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Genome wide associations studies (GWASs) have discovered many genetic associations with a large range of human traits, but the functional consequences of GWAS signals often remain elusive, as most GWAS signals reside in non-coding genomic regions. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr J Min, Dr G Hemani, Dr JH Hawe

An investigation of the causal relationship and genetic overlap between sleep traits and physical and mental health using Mendelian randomization

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Sleep has long been known to play a role in physical and mental wellbeing and sleep disruption has been observed to co-occur with a number of health conditions including. Read more

Identifying causal pathways to disease using DNA methylation predicted blood traits.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Project Background. Blood cell types have been implicated in pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Genome wide association studies have identified thousands of variants associated with blood trait variation. Read more

Estimating the global cancer burden due to low levels of physical activity

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Around 40% of all cancers are thought to be avoidable by modification of lifestyle factors. Obesity has been found to be a risk factor for several cancers and was estimated to have caused around 3.6% of all new cancers which occurred in 2012. Read more

Discovering off-target side-effects and drug repurposing candidates using expression perturbation data

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Mendelian Randomization (MR) is a genetic epidemiology method which utilises variants sourced from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to assess causality between risk/protective factors and disease outcomes in a manner less biased to observational studies(1). Read more

Prospectively mapping the development of liver disease amongst young adults. Who is developing it early and why?

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Historically, cirrhosis (irreversible liver scarring), often due to alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), presents in the 5th and 6th decade. Read more

How does parental education increase risk to ADHD in the offspring?

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition, characterised by persistent difficulties in the areas of attention span/impulse control. Read more

Identifying DNA methylation signatures of prostate cancer progression and mortality among patients with clinically confirmed, localised disease at baseline in a large prospective clinical trial

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of male mortality, with 336,000 deaths worldwide each year (1). Although most PCa cases are indolent, slow-growing, and tend not to progress, a subset of PCa cases are more aggressive and will progress to metastases, treatment resistance and death. Read more
