WORKING GROUP: CLINICS
Improvement of and setting standards for clinical phenotyping, building structures to collect well-phenotyped patient groups, e.g. based on testicular histology.
Kristian Almstrup and his group focus on studies connecting genetic and epigenetic variation (including small RNAs) to reproductive endpoints, testicular gene expression and functional studies of sperm cells.
