Now he is Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Bochukova Lab, Genomics and Child Health, Blizard Institute. Our Lab main focus is on RNA-mediated and chromatin-mediated (epigenetic) mechanisms in metabolic disease, and his main work is using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and next-generation sequencing to investigate the functional characterization of human obesity-associated genetic variation affecting non-protein-coding DNA and RNA (post-transcriptional RNA gene regulation and the role of non-coding RNAs).
