Professor Patrick Cai and Dr Joshua James join a project led by Professor Ferenc Mueller from the University of Birmingham that aims to uncover the hidden grammar of the genome – the underlying logic that governs how genes are switched on and off during development. The team combines cutting-edge computational and experimental approaches to decode these patterns, paving the way for breakthroughs in understanding and engineering biology.
The project is a collaboration between partners at the University of Birmingham, EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute, Imperial College London, The Francis Crick Institute, and the University of Edinburgh.
The sLoLa scheme is designed to support curiosity-driven research that furthers our understanding of how life works which could one day lead to innovation across sectors.
Professor Anne Ferguson-Smith, BBSRC Executive Chair, said:
“Long-term investments through our sLoLa scheme brings researchers with different expertise together to collaboratively pursue questions whose answers may reshape our understanding of the living world.”
