Genetic and pharmacological epidemiology – Zeberg laboratory

We study gene flow from Neandertals and Denisovans into modern humans. In addition, we are interested in genetic variability in general, and the functional consequences thereof, particularly for membrane-bound proteins such as receptors and ion channels. Other topics of interest include pharmacogenetics and the genetic predisposition to infectious diseases, such as COVID-19. Our approaches include both bioinformatics and functional studies.
