Projects

Final theses & Projects

I have mentored the following papers in the last few years or I am currently mentoring them. The topics give a good overview of the research areas that particularly interest me.

Research Projects

FunForGen

Individual variants in the DNA sequence (i.e. the linear sequence of the 4 DNA building blocks, the so-called bases) are called polymorphisms and can influence the function of genes and thus contribute to the clinical manifestation of diseases or influence their course and therapy. In addition, polymorphism patterns can be so characteristic for each individual that they also enable the forensic identification of perpetrators and victims on the basis of a DNA trace.
