Research aim
We aim at discovering, validating and implementing circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as biomarkers for early detection of disease, prediction of disease progression, and prognosis.
Project examples
- Development and validation of a plasma miRNA signature for detection and prognostic prediction of glioblastoma.
- Development and validation of a plasma miRNA profile for prediction of disease progression from latent tuberculosis infection to active tuberculosis.
- Exploring the association of circulating miRNAs in plasma to cognitive function among healthy elderly twins.
