We are the Genetics and Epigenetics research group at Saarland University, bringing together interdisciplinary groups working at the interface of molecular genetics, epigenomics, and computational biology.
Our research focuses on understanding how genetic variation and epigenetic regulation shape gene expression, cell identity, development, and disease. By combining experimental genomics, epigenetics, and data-driven computational approaches, we aim to uncover fundamental biological mechanisms with relevance to human health.
- Genetics and functional genomics
- Epigenetics (DNA methylation, chromatin organization, histone modifications)
- Gene regulation and regulatory networks
- Neurobiology and disease-related mechanisms
- Bioinformatics and computational epigenomics
This organization reflects the work of research groups at Saarland University, including:
-
Chair of Genetics / Epigenetics/ Neurogenetics
https://www.uni-saarland.de/lehrstuhl/schulze-hentrich.html -
Chair of Genetics / Molecular and Computational Biology
https://www.uni-saarland.de/en/chair/walter.html
We welcome students, researchers, and collaborators interested in:
- Open-source bioinformatics tools
- Reproducible analysis pipelines
- Epigenomic data analysis and visualization
- Collaborative research projects
Relevant resources, code, and documentation will be shared within this organization as part of our commitment to open and transparent science.
