The Eynon Group is interested in the study of epigenetics and other molecules associated with healthy aging and exercise. The group investigates the role of epigenetics in ageing and exercise adaptations, as well as sex differences in response to exercise. The lab uses a combination of wet-lab and bioinformatics analyses, with a particular focus on ‘omics’ datasets including DNA methylation, transcriptomics and proteomics.
