Research Focus
We are an interdisciplinary group of researchers exploring various multiomic approaches to investigate how the genome contributes to diseases. We develop new computational methods for patient diagnosis, treatment and data management. Our group’s core competencies include medicine, molecular biology and data science. We study both rare and complex diseases on a molecular/genetic level. In doing so, we aim to either provide a genetic diagnosis or gain more knowledge about the pathomechanism of the disease. We collaborate with researchers around the globe in hopes of fostering international exchange and bringing new advancements in science to the healthcare sector.
