ZHMB Junior Research Group Human Genetics
Main research areas
The junior research group focuses on research into a class of small RNA molecules (miRNAs) and their functional significance in pathogenesis. The current research of the junior research group focusses on neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and cancers such as bronchial carcinoma. The miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of both diseased tissues and various immune cell subtypes from patients are being analysed. One focus is on the identification of potential molecular biomarkers for the respective disease, but above all on the functional analysis of differentially expressed miRNAs. Robot-assisted methods are used to identify interactions between the miRNAs and their target mRNAs and to create starting points for understanding cellular regulatory networks in diseased cells and associated immune cell subtypes.

The Junior Research Group Human Genetics was initiated by the University of Saarland in 2001 as one out of six junior research groups within the Center for Human and Molecular Biology at the university's Medical Faculty. The laboratory is accommodated at the Department of Human Genetics, headed by Prof. Dr. Eckart Meese.
The various Junior Research Groups are furthermore engaged in lecturing and practical courses for students in Human Biology with emphasis on Human and Molecular Biology.
