Our research group promotes rapid and widespread application of modern molecular techniques in clinical research. We develop novel methods for genome analysis, establish these methods at the department, and apply them to medical or biological problems within the group and together with clinical collaborators.  Our core technology is “minisequencing” primer extension pioneered by us.

The results of our work have been published as original articles in international journals and we have written review articles and book chapters related to our work. The members of the group and descriptions of their on-going projects can be found by following the links in the left pane.

Our research group is a partner in a number of European research projects: Cardiogenics, ENGAGE, Procardis and SMART-BioMEMS. We are also a member of the Nordic Centre of Excellence in Disease genetics, NCoEDG.

We co-organize several annual courses in Molecular Medicine targeted at students of different levels.

The SNP technology platform that offers genotyping and next generation sequencing services and training to academic researchers operates in close connection with our group.
