Molecular Precision Medicine

Welcome to the research group in Molecular Precision Medicine. Our research is focused on genomics and epigenomics in human diseases.
Description of our research
The research group in Molecular Precision Medicine (MPM), headed by Dr. Jessica Nordlund, was started in 2020. The MPM research group develops and applies novel molecular approaches to analyze the genomes, transcriptomes, epigenomes and proteomes of clinical samples. By integrating multiple types of -omics data with machine learning, we aim to identify molecular biomarkers that distinguish a given patient from other patients with similar clinical presentations, improve the precision of molecular diagnoses, and identify novel treatment approaches.
