Center for Epigenomics
Collaboration Opportunities

“The Center for Epigenomics really accelerated research at UC San Diego in general because their platforms are truly ‘plug and play.’ With C4E, if you want to do single nuclear studies or chip seq or elaborate assays, they are very robust and very reproducible as opposed to each one being an adventure.”

- David Brenner

Professor of Medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine
Former Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences 

How To Collaborate

Our mission of enabling epigenomics driven discoveries is accomplished in part through collaborative projects between the Center and investigators at UC San Diego and beyond. There are several ways researchers can engage in research with the Center.

Epigenomics Collaborative Research Program:

Our collaborative research program brings together external researchers with scientists at the Center for Epigenomics to answer important questions through application of epigenomic concepts and technologies such as high-throughput ATAC-seq and single-cell ATAC-seq. The goal of this program is to leverage the unique experience and expertise of each participant to create new and impactful research opportunities.

The Center for Epigenomics considers new collaborations for this program on a case-by-case basis. These projects can be funded through a variety of mechanisms including joint grant applications, subcontracts, and campus recharge. If interested in exploring a potential collaboration or joint grant application, contact epigenome@health.ucsd.edu.
