About Lars
Lars is head of the “Lübeck Interdisciplinary Platform for Genome Analytics” (LIGA) which is part of University of Lübeck’s Medical Faculty (“Sektion Medizin”). The overarching aim of LIGA is to improve our understanding of the genetic and epigenetic foundations of genetically complex human traits and diseases, in particular those related to aging. To this end, our group uses state-of-the-art high-throughput genome technologies in human DNA and RNA samples recruited within the auspices of a number of different national and international collaborative projects, including EMIF-AD, LifeBrain, MiRNetAD, and BASE-II.
