Epigenomics of endothelial cells
Principal investigator: | Rob KRAMS |
Funding source(s): | British Heart Foundation |
We study whole genomics of endothelial cells obtained from atherosclerotic blood vessels from mice and pigs. These cells are isolated with laser capture on basis of shear stress and strain profiles. RNAseq is performed to obtain differential mRNA and microRNA expression. Extensive bioinformatics is performed for inference of gene networks and the interaction with microRNA
