LIFE & BRAIN is a leading Euopean service provider for high-throughput genotyping using Illumina array technology, NGS as well as 3rd Generation sequencing using a Novaseq6000 and a Pacific Biosciences Sequel system. As one of the first Illumina certified Service providers (CSPro) Life & Brain offers highest quality standards in SNP genotyping, molecular karyotyping and methylation analysis. With strong scientific background in research on complex genetic disorders and the connection to the Institute of Human Genetics, Life & Brain also offers complete project management from Biobanking to Bioinformatics for genetic projects.
The major goal of the research group „Human Genomics“ is to identify the molecular (genetic) basis of selected human diseases, using forefront molecular genetic and omics-technologies and analysis methods.The group’s expertise bundles a profound understanding of the different research strategies that are needed to identify genetic factors for both monogenic and genetically complex phenotypes, in particular linkage studies, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Quantitative Trait Loci analysis. The employed strategies make use of recent technologies such as microarrays (DNA, RNA, methylation) and next-/third generation sequencing, in combination with bioinformatic/statistical analysis and interpretation of the resulting data.
Endomedicum is a privately held laboratory for laboratory medicine founded in July 2020. We are offering services in the field of endocrinology, diabetes and hormone analysis. Besides performing laboratory tests we have the mission to offer state of the art patient care by running several practises for general medicine.
