The group is interested in omic-level studies including the genome, methylome, transcriptome, and metabolome of the general population as well as of various diseases including cardiovascular diseases, pneumonia, sepsis, obesity, and brain cancers. Additionally, we aim at transfering results of biomathematical model simulations into clinical practice e.g. by haematopoietic growth-factor opimization during cytotoxic chemotherapy and optimization of EPO applications in chronic kidney disease.

The group aims to develop and apply statistical and bioinformatic methods in genetics. This comprises e.g. the planning and conduction of studies, the management and analysis of high-dimensional molecular genetic data (germ line mutations, tumour cell line mutations, expression data, metabolomics), population genetics and integrative genome analyses. The work is accompanied by statistical or continuous modelling of diseases or physiological processes. For this purpose, we cooperate with different national and international study groups of different disease entities or phenotypes.

Resutls of different OMICS-level using LIFE Adult and LIFE Heart data are presented (Publications, Supplemental Data, & Summary Statistics).
Snapshots: No snapshots
We analysed if measuring PWV in different segments of the body leads to association with different genetic variants, as well as different heritability and different genetic correlation with other biological traits. Furthermore we searched for shared genetic architecture concerning PWV, blood pressure (BP) and coronary artery disease (CAD) and examined the causal relationship between PWV and BP.

We defined six operationalizations of CPB considering plaques in common carotid arteries, carotid bulb, and internal carotid arteries (maximal plaque area, mean plaque area, sum of plaque areas at all six regions, maximal degree of stenosis, mean degree of stenosis, and sum of stenosis at all six regions).
Link to publication (PMID, DOI), Supplemental Figures and Tables, and Summary Statistics of GWAS will be made available upon acceptance of our manuscript.

The primary goal of this study was to identify genetic loci associated with steroid hormone levels (cortisol, DHEA-S, testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, androstenedione, and aldosterone). In a secondary analysis, we searched for causal effects of steroid hormones on coronary artery disease.
