Research interest
    Genetics of Human Cardiovascular Anomalies , Cleft Lip, Palate and Cerebral Tumors: The basic aim of our research is to get insights into the molecular mechanisms behind human inherited diseases. We are especially interested in disorders affecting the cardiovascular and the skeletal system. In addition, we have initiated studies on cancerous tumors. As this research is based on human DNA extracted from blood and tissue samples obtained from patients, the group works tightly with several clinicians and multidiciplinary centers worldwide (e.g. Centre des Malformations Vasculaires, Cliniques Universitaires St-Luc; Vascular Anomalies Center, Children's Hospital, Boston, USA and Centre labiopalatin, Cliniques Universitaires St-Luc).
