About the research team

Our interdisciplinary diagnostics and research team at the Institute of Medical Genetics and Applied Genomics applies state-of-the-art genomics methods to research the molecular mechanisms of genetic diseases. As part of national and international networks, we are establishing new concepts for improved diagnostics and therapies for rare and oncological diseases. In addition to the latest technologies (eg long-read genome sequencing), we use integrative analyzes of omics datasets for the comprehensive characterization and improved clinical interpretation of genomic alterations. The close integration of clinical and research ensures the rapid translation of the latest scientific findings, technologies and methods into routine diagnostics. Our aim is to make these benefits available to all our patients and thus support the development of personalized therapies and preventive measures.
