Project title
Identification and Characterisation of Novel Genetic Variants in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Supervisory Team
Principal Supervisor: Professor Nathan Subramaniam
Associate Supervisor: Dr Daniel Wallace
External Supervisor: Dr Gautam Rishi
Project description
This project involves bioinformatic analysis of rare gene variants in patients with different types of liver disease, which Gary will then introduce in mouse and human liver cell models to identify their impact on cell function. This project has the potential to improve patient diagnosis for liver disease.
