Dr Negusse Kitaba

Senior Research Fellow

Research interests

  • My current research mainly involves working with DNA methylation data to identify epigenetic marks for periconceptional paternal smoking exposure across generations. This Epigenome Wide Association Study is part of the Rhinessa multicentre population project. My expertise includes integrating multi-omic data such as SNP, transcriptome, methylation and interactome (PPI) at the system level to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the origins of complex diseases. In my former position, I worked on the epigenetic effects of Maternal Gestation Diabetes (GDM) using the UPBEAT Offspring data supported by Diabetes UK.
