Lee Siggens

I did my undergraduate degree in Food and Human Nutrition close to home at Newcastle University (UK). During my undergraduate degree I developed an interest in molecular biology and obtained a Wellcome Trust MPhil/PhD scholarship at the Institute of Metabolic Science (Cambridge, UK). After my PhD I joined the Department of Biosciences and Nutrition at the Karolinska Institute (Stockholm). My research for the past few years has primarily focused on chromatin and epigenomics. Currently working massively parallel reporter assays for cis regulatory element and genetic variant characterization.
