Innovation arises at the interface of different areas of science. The group specialises in the interface between neurosciences, immunology and metabolic research on one side and genomics and bioinformatics on the other side. High-throughput sequencing down to single-cell resolution plays a pivotal role in our research at the Platform for Single Cell Genomics and Epigenomics at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the University of Bonn.
The group's research comprises both, lab-based experimental approaches as well as computer-based analyses. The group is thus in an excellent position to address questions of systems biological nature. However, the group's expert knowledge is also applied to assist collaborators in neurobiological and immunological research at the DZNE and worldwide.
