Summary of the investigation:

My previous research focuses on the integrated genomic and epigenomic study of a rare autoimmune disease (Mixed connective tissue disease), the search for genomic and epigenomic biomarkers for the disease and the mediating role of DNA methylation in it.

My tasks consist in giving support to ECHO research by formulation of hypotheses to test the mechanisms of DOHaD, and in the near future the analysis of genomic and epigenomic data.
