Medulloblastoma represents the most frequent malignant brain tumor in children, occurring in the cerebellum. At diagnosis, approximately 30% of patients show disseminated (metastatic) disease. Approximately 60% survival can be reached with multimodal treatment including operation, irradiation and chemotherapy. However, survivors suffer from significant side effects, including neurocognitive impairment, which is very severe in young age when the central nervous system is still developing. To reduce ...

This project collects summary information and (visual) characterizations of lung health related polygenic scores and underlying GWAS, based on publicly available data.

Mission: We perform cutting-edge research on data generated by novel biomolecular technologies to address questions in pneumology. Towards this, we use biological high-throughput data, i.e., OMICs data, to gain insights into molecular and phenotypic traits and diseases using computational methods. We combine data, methodology and their applications in pneumology through interdisciplinary collaboration with mathematicians, computer scientists, biologists and physicians.
