Lübecker Herzinfarkt-Forschung geht voran

Großartige Video-Darstellung zum Stand der Forschung und Entwicklung bei der genomischen Diagnostik bei Herzinfarkt des Instituts für Integrative und Experimentelle Genomik im MFC 1.

„The Institute for Integrative and Experimental Genomics aims to better understand the genetic factors that lead to cardiovascular diseases, eg. atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction – more commonly known as heart attack.

There is an urgent need to progress beyond current state-of-the-art genetics by adding further levels of -omics data and approaches that include markers of regulatory function. By integrating bioinformatical, epidemiological, clinical and experimental data, we propose to elucidate the functional basis of already-known genetic loci, as well as identify novel pathways to further understand the pathomechanisms leading to these life-threatening diseases. To fulfill these overarching goals the Institute hosts an interdisciplinary as well as international research team of 30 scientists, PhD and MD students and technicians.“
