Unit profile
Research
The Division of Clinical Genetics consists of several research teams. Our research is focused on different aspects of cancer genetics and cancer biology as well as genetics of heritable rare diseases. This includes the identification and characterization of genetic aberrations, investigations of the functional outcome of somatic and constitutional genetic variants, and the development of novel targeted therapies for various forms of cancer.
