cme-mdg Human Genome Laboratory

Welcome to the Human Genome Laboratory

 

The mission of the Human Genome Laboratory is to detect and characterize important mutations

in mental retardation and malignant disease, to better understand the basic pathological

mechanisms underlying these diseases, and to improve their clinical management.

 Projects

An overview of our current projects:

 

> Protein tyrosine kinase activation in cancer

> Signaling from the API2-MLT protein in MALT lymphoma

Protein tyrosine kinases are important signaling proteins involved in the proliferation and survival of cancer cells. Our research focusses on the identification of novel oncogenic tyrosine kinases, the study of their signaling pathways, and the possible application of small molecule inhibitors to inhibit tumor growth and survival.

We aim to study the genes and mechanisms involved in the development of memory and behavior (cognition) in men. This is achieved by the identification and characterization of genes involved in mental retardation (IQ<70) through different genomic and biological approaches. In addition, this work will allow for correct genetic counseling of families with MR patients.
