Projects

This project contains molecular QTL analyses related to lung health and asthma in the ERA/ALLIANCE cohort, including cis-eQTL and cis-mQTL mapping, associated preprocessing and quality control, and downstream characterization of genetic effects on gene expression and DNA methylation.

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.
