Lines of research

Translational Genomics

Translational Genomics, where cutting-edge genetic research meets practical healthcare solutions. Our focus includes personalized treatments, genomics-assisted decision-making, and integrating clinical and population-based studies. We aim to improve patient outcomes, enhance disease understanding, and develop targeted interventions.

Deep (musculo) skeletal phenotyping

Our research enhances musculoskeletal health by analyzing bone density, body composition, muscle strength, and spinal alignment. We improve fracture risk prediction and develop interventions through advanced analytical tools, including machine learning, applied to Big Data from population and patient cohorts, integrating genetics, environment, and lifestyle for better health outcomes.

Projects

LEGENDARE is a program funded by the ERC Advanced Grant No. 101021500, aimed at using genomics for preventing and managing human skeletal fragility and associated
