Genetic mechanisms of ageing – Maria Eriksson's research group

Our research concerns the genetic mechanisms that contribute to age-related decline of tissues and the development of age-associated disease. We use modern genomic technologies to identify genetic variations, and conditional in vivo models to dissect the functional significance of the variants discovered.

Majoriteten av somatiska mutationer tros ha liten betydelse, men en del påskyndar sjukdom eller åldrande, och andra kan vara direkt sjukdomsorsakande som vid cancer.
