Role
Principal Investigator
Description
Stroke is the second biggest cause of mortality in Australia and has a huge socio-economic burden to the health care system and affects more women than men according to the National Stroke Association. This project aims to elucidate whether the differences in male and female stroke outcome is associated with differences in the expression of a key protein. The epigenetic mechanism by which this protein is regulated will also be explored and could provide novel targets for intervention. This project will allow me to establish an epigenetic research lab with high throughput sequencing at JCU.
