Dr Sean Flynn

I am a Lecturer in Data Science & Genomics at the Department of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences.

I trained in C. elegans neurogenetics with Mario de Bono at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, before studying 3D genome structure as a postdoc with Shankar Balasubramanian at the CRUK Cambridge Institute. 

Resaresearch in our group focuses on regulation of neural gene expression by enhancers, with a particular interest in non-coding genetic variants. For more information visit our website. 

Current group members: 

Oliver Shiels (PhD student) 

Syed Marwan Bin Syed Jaffar (PhD student) 

Postgraduate Research opportunities: I am open to email enquiries from students with their own funding interested in a PhD or MSc by Research. I am also open to supporting students who would like to apply to the China Scholarship Council, Commonwealth Scholarship, or other PhD funding schemes.
