Research groups contributing to this research program

Bioinformatics

Peter-Bram 't Hoen's research group develops computational workflows for the integration of omics and clinical data to predict disease progression and identify drug repurposing candidates in myotonic dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders. 

Genetic diversity

Hieab Adams's research group studies how this complex puzzle of genetic and non-genetic factors is linked to health.

Genetic epidemiology

Sita Vermeulen's research group aims to understand underlying mechanisms of prognosis and treatment response in order to facilitate personalized medicine. The group mainly uses molecular epidemiological studies and has a focus on bladder cancer.
