Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) will review reports, attend annual meetings as well as offering the project the benefit of their scientific expertise. We have selected SAB members with particular expertise that will be useful in the latter parts of the project since this will require flexibility due to the unpredictable types of genes produced using a number of animal model systems and different and novel biomarkers.
