Fecha de publicación: 2022
Objetivos: 1. To characterize the immune cell composition across the Latin America populations. 2. To identify regulatory networks influenced by genetic variation across Latin American populations. 3. To build a PBMC biobank for future studies linking genetic variants to changes in gene expression.

Notas: This project will use single-cell technologies (scATAC-seq, scRNA-seq, CITE-seq) to identify how diverse ancestries impact gene expression and the composition of immune cells. This research will contribute to greater understanding of genetic and environmental influences on immune human traits.
