Summary

Our lab performs experimental and bioinformatics research in medical genomics. The group explores how different types of genetic variants contribute to human diseases, mostly neuropsychiatric, neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders. The interaction of genetic factors with environmental conditions is one of the main areas of research of the group and is addressed by integrating epidemiological and clinical data with genetics and epigenetics information. We study very well characterized cohorts of patients and use high-throughput genomic platforms and functional studies, including longitudinal investigations of patients at different time-points and cohorts in which exposure to environment has been monitored. Different activities of the group are coordinated towards translational and precision medicine.
