Genetic data processing

At our laboratory, we are proud to host a diverse array of genomics research groups that are at the forefront of scientific discovery. Our teams specialize in various aspects of genomics, including genomic sequencing, bioinformatics, gene expression analysis, and population genomics. Each group contributes unique expertise and innovative approaches to understand the complexities of genetic information and its implications in health, disease, and the environment.

1. Genomic Sequencing Group: Our Genomic Sequencing Group focuses on cutting-edge techniques to decode genetic material from a wide range of organisms. Utilizing advanced technologies such as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), our researchers are dedicated to generating high-quality genomic data that serves as a foundation for various biological studies. Their work plays a crucial role in identifying genetic variations associated with diseases and understanding evolutionary biology.

2. Bioinformatics Team: The Bioinformatics Team is essential in translating raw genomic data into meaningful insights. By employing computational tools and statistical methods, this group analyzes complex datasets, facilitating the interpretation of genetic information. Their expertise helps in identifying biomarkers, understanding gene-function relationships, and employing machine learning algorithms to predict outcomes in genomic studies.

3. Gene Expression Analysis Group: Our Gene Expression Analysis Group specializes in studying how genes are turned on or off in different conditions. Through techniques such as RNA-seq and qPCR, they explore the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression and its implications in development and disease. Their research sheds light on cellular pathways and potential therapeutic targets for various health conditions.

4. Population Genomics Research Team: The Population Genomics Research Team examines genetic diversity within and between populations. By studying genomic variations across species and populations, this group provides insights into evolutionary processes, adaptation, and the genetic basis of traits. Their work is vital in conservation genetics and understanding the impact of environmental changes on biodiversity.

5. Clinical Genomics Group: The Clinical Genomics Group bridges the gap between laboratory research and clinical applications. Focusing on the integration of genomic data into personalized medicine, this team aims to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies. Their collaborative efforts with healthcare professionals ensure that our genomic discoveries translate into real-world benefits for patients.

The main concentration of this group is on cancer detection based on Genomic data and most of thesis will be defined on DNA, RNA levels.
