Introducing the Shorter lab
Our goal is to establish a framework for individualized treatment strategies in endocrine, neurological, and cardiovascular disorders. By integrating GWAS and functional genomics with state-of-the-art pharmacogenetics, we aspire to refine treatment options, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce the societal burden of chronic diseases. In parallel, we will continue to foster a collaborative environment that includes training new scientists in bioinformatics, genetics, and translational medicine. Our reseach utilizes large-scale national biobanks like the Danish Blood Donor Study, iPSYCH, UKB and more. We also use mouse models to further our understanding of disease biology.
Highlights
Our Research
A central aim of our research is to discover new mechanistic insights into disease etiology and then translate these insights into actionable strategies for patient care. By integrating genomics, epidemiology, and computational biology within a framework of personalized medicine, we aim to accelerate the translation of basic discoveries into improved patient outcomes.
