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. 

Cancer microbiology

Annemarie Boleij's research group explores the gut microbiome's role in cancer development, focusing on high-risk colorectal cancer, bacterial biofilms, and host-microbe interactions in colorectal, gastrointestinal, and breast cancers.

Genetic diversity

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