Experiments will include live-imaging, molecular biology, FACS and epigenetic/transcriptomic/proteomic analysis of inflammatory cells in various zebrafish models of wound inflammation. You will join the lab of Professor Paul Martin, ( http://www.bris.ac.uk/biochemistry/people/paul-b-martin/index.html ).
