The Penn Epigenetics Institute is pleased to announce the awardees of the 2024 At-Large Pilot Grants. Since 2013, these pilot grants have supported new research projects across a broad spectrum of topics, from those that involve fundamental studies in epigenetics to more applied or disease-oriented studies that utilize epigenetics as a central component of the research. We were grateful to receive a number of high-quality applications this year, and we are looking forward to seeing the results of the funded projects.
