Congratulations to our 2025 Epigenetics Institute At-Large Pilot Grant Awardees!
The Penn Epigenetics Institute is pleased to announce the awardees of the 2025 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 progress of the funded projects.
