Internship Description
Workshop Description
Studying the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms dysregulated in
patients affected by metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance (IR) and
type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is essential to derive efficient
pharmacological approaches. We are seeking an outstanding student to work on a
project focused on the study of the role of histone modifiers to the onset of
metabolic disorders.
