Alice Franklin
Graduate Research Assistant
A.Franklin@exeter.ac.uk
Overview
Alice graduated from the University of Exeter with a BSc Honours degree in Natural Sciences, during which she developed a strong interest in the use of bioinformatics to understand human health and disease.
Her final year undergraduate research project focused on the evaluation of a novel statistical deconvolution tool for epigenetics research. After graduation, she joined the Complex Disease Epigenomics Group as a graduate research assistant where she is focusing on the DNA methylation changes that occur during human fetal development.
