Division
We investigate genetic disorders on a molecular level in a translational research setting in order to understand disease mechanisms, apply new knowledge in genetic diagnostics, improve prognosis assessment and develop new treatment strategies. Our research group consists of four teams and our main interests are hematological malignancies, with a particular focus on chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lymphoma and pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, metabolic bone disorders, and cancer genetics.

Characterisation of genomic, transcriptomic or methylation aberrations in cancer or lymphoma using gene panels or whole genome sequencing and/or analysis of cell-free DNA using droplet digital PCR, targeted gene panels or whole genome sequencing. Prior knowledge and practical experience in cancer genetics and molecular genetic techniques or in bioinformatics is a merit.
