Description
Illumina’s Epigenetics Research Grant Contest supports basic scientists studying how DNA methylation relates to human health and disease. Applicants propose a new project using the Infinium Methylation Screening Array-48 Kit. The program aims to advance understanding of epigenetics in cellular health, development, regulation, and disease, including the interplay of genetics and the environment.
A panel of experts selects one winner. It considers potential impact on scientific knowledge, technical capability, or clinical practice; feasibility with 1,008 array samples; the applicant’s and institution’s research track records; experimental design and methodology; and the potential to generate new knowledge.
