Studies
Observational studies form the foundation for valid, reproducible evidence in epidemiology. We utilize population-based cohorts and clinical datasets where data and biological samples are collected using standardized methods. In addition to measuring classic laboratory parameters from these biosamples, we employ cutting-edge techniques to investigate innovative biomarkers.
This approach allows for the in-depth study of risk factors, mechanisms, and disease progression in complex conditions — contributing to both the fundamental understanding of pathology and the translation of findings into basic research.
