Helmholtz Diabetes Center
Institute of Experimental Genetics
The Institute of Experimental Genetics (IEG) aims to further the understanding of mechanisms underlying human diseases' etiology. Metabolic diseases with a focus on diabetes are key areas of research. Experimental set-ups are centered on the mouse as a pre-clinical model organism with direct translation of results to humans. Besides studying the effects of genotypes, the institute identifies and characterizes environmental and epigenetic factors and the mechanisms by which these act on the etiology of diseases.
