William Lloyd

 

I am a Norwich Research Park Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership (NRPDTP) student working in the Haerty group at the Earlham Institute.

My research involves using bioinformatics and computational techniques to study alternative splicing in the human brain. Specifically focusing on the reconstruction of isoform level regulatory networks, to identify the co-regulation and co-expression of candidate genes across different cells and tissues in the brain. Resulting in understanding how genetic variation affects splicing regulation.

I studied my undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences at the UEA before arriving at EI, specifically focusing on molecular biology and computer science.

Additionally, I carried out an internship at the UEA School of Mathematics researching the mathematical modelling of epidermal wound healing. This aimed to predict the outcome of epidermal wound healing using the computational modelling of partial differential equations (PDEs).
