Project:

Systems biology approach to defining impact of genetic variant of GP x 4 and selenium intake

From July 2010 to October 2013
Project Leader(s): Professor JE Hesketh
Staff: Professor TBL Kirkwood, Dr DP Shanley, Professor JC Mathers
Contact: Professor John Hesketh
Sponsors: Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)

The aim of this project is to develop a systems approach that can yield robust understanding of the complex interactions between intake of the micronutrient selenium (Se) and genotype which influence health.
