In this talk I will go through results of my doctoral studies at DeCODE genetics, with focus on quantitative hematological traits.

This seminar will describe genomic and molecular biology approaches that have led to the identification of functional variants at pancreatic cancer risk loci that influence gene expression regulation, and an example of a risk locus that affects the coding region of a gene and protein structure and function.

Human diversity and diseases in the context of genomics, transcriptomic and proteomics

The recent resolution revolution in microscopy technologies allows unprecedented insights into the molecular machinery inside living systems.

 A story of a successful industry-academia collaboration

Differential expression between each allele of an autosomal gene, allele-specific expression (ASE), allows us to examine the biological control of gene expression in health and disease.

Aurora is a cooperation of European research-intensive universities united by a shared commitment to social relevance and a diverse student body.

It is clear that the biotech industry will grow rapidly in Iceland in the coming years. It is therefore important that those start-ups that emerge here do not wither due to circumstances or be forced to operate abroad but have the conditions to mature domestically and pursue product development based on progressive research of the highest quality.
