Description: |
Mutations in EGF domains are associated with a number of disease phenotypes including Marfan syndrome, Alagille syndrome, spondylocostal dysostosis and various blood diseases. The project aims to use data mining combined with structure and sequence analysis to investigate trends in the nature of mutations associated with disease. Offered in conjunction with Dr Duncan Sparrow and Associate Professor Sally Dunwoodie of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. A benchwork component is available if desired. | |
