Genetics and Toxicology in Cancer Chemotherapy and Forensic Sciences

The aim of our research is to identify, validate and implement genetic markers or other biomarkers to predict drug metabolism or drug effects.

We focus on three different areas

Individualized cancer treatment

We work with the prediction of pharmacokinetics of new targeted treatments and side effects of classical chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer.

New psychoactive drugs

Misuse of opioids and new psychoactive substances are a clear and present health danger. There is a great need to establish ways to assess the toxicity and pharmacology of these new drugs for a correct risk assessment and evaluation.

Sudden cardiac death

In this project we work with next generation sequencing to identify causative variant, prediction and prevalence, as well as investigating the functional consequence of different genetic variants found.
