Omics-based approaches in cardiovascular disease

Systems medince approaches to characterize candidate genes and networks of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, heart failure and atrial fibrillation. As resources we use large-scale omics and phenotypic data sets as well as comprehensive biobanks of population-based and disease cohorts. Candidate genes are investigated at the molecular and cellular levels. Findings are translated into clinical disease models and tested for clinical application.
