Genome Research Lab

Research interests

• Development and optimization of novel, sophisticated genomic technologies for diagnostic purposes 
• Implementation of these genomic technologies in a pre- and postnatal diagnostic setting and preimplantation genetic testing
• Detection of structural rearrangements in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders
• Investigation of the molecular basis of genomic disorders (e.g. intellectual disability and neurodevelopmental syndromes)
• Functional elucidation of genomic aberrations in close collaboration with the Functional Genomics Lab
