Objective
I here propose a strategy to investigate cell type-specific effects of non-coding regulatory elements, which have been shown to play a fundamental role during the molecular pathophysiology of complex neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma in the eye or Alzheimer's or Parkinson's in the brain. By leveraging techniques from various scientific disciplines such as synthetic biology, next-generation-sequencing and bioinformatics, a system will be designed that is capable of quantifying thousands of regulatory elements such as enhancers, promoters or insulators, in a single experiment and for a specific cell type of interest. The overall goal is to demonstrate feasibility for creating an approach that can be used to study the effects of non-coding loci in neurodegenerative diseases, and to evaluate the contribution of genetic background to regulatory element use.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
