We are a group of interdisciplinary scientists from all fields, including biologists, engineers, physicists and mathematicians. We have one thing in common: our desire to understand how our genotype leads to our phenotype. We investigate how our genes make some of us more susceptible to certain diseases and characteristics than others. We work with "big data" techniques, taking a large number of patients and controls (people without disease) and investigating their genomes to find clues into these connections. In the long term this research could be used to predict what diseases individuals are prone to and what age they are likely to develop them. With this information better drugs and preventative treatments could be developed, thus reaching the ultimate goal: precision medicine! Research Our research aims to understand what drives phenotypic differences among individuals of a population. People Current and past members of our group. Publications Selected publications. Opportunities Get in touch. This article was published on 2024-09-02
