Department of Twin Research & Genetic Epidemiology, King's College London, UK Whole methylome within twin’s and common diseases of aging  We aim to look at the already deeply phenotyped and genotyped TwinsUK cohort and compare this with the whole methylome data that is currently being generated on 5,000 of the twins via the ERC funded 'EpiTwin' grant. The EpiTwin project will help determine the association between genotype, epigenotype and traits and diseases associated with common complex diseases of aging compared to healthy aging. We are the lead organization for the FP7 Marie-Curie ITN 'EpiTrain' which will provide workshops and training for early stage researchers and experienced researchers throughout Europe. And under the EpiTrain ITN we will host two Early Stage Researchers and an Experienced Researcher. The following members of staff are currently working on Epigenetic projects within the department:
