Enquiries
Areas for collaboration and prospective lab members
Research focus
We investigate atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and cardiometabolic disease using genetic model systems, single-cell transcriptomics, epigenetics, high-throughput functional genomics, and bioinformatics.
Collaborations
We welcome enquiries related to cardiovascular genomics, functional fine-mapping, disease-associated variants, single-cell multiomics, spatial transcriptomics, and gene-regulatory mechanisms.
Joining the lab
Prospective students and researchers are encouraged to email Minna with a short description of their research interests, background, and potential fit with the group.
