Research focus
The core expertise of Tim De Meyer's group at the BIOBIX lab is the development and application of novel data-analytical methods for omics data. The current focus is the study of allele-specific effects in health (imprinting, eQTLs) and disease (loss of imprinting, allelic imbalance) using solely large-scale RNA-seq data, thereby increasing sensitivity and cost-efficiency. Additional cancer related topics include data analysis for high-througput protein-protein interaction screening, data visualization and integration and several biomarker oriented collaborations.
