LIFE & BRAIN is a leading Euopean service provider for high-throughput genotyping using Illumina array technology, NGS as well as 3rd Generation sequencing using a Novaseq6000 and a Pacific Biosciences Sequel system. As one of the first Illumina certified Service providers (CSPro) Life & Brain offers highest quality standards in SNP genotyping, molecular karyotyping and methylation analysis.With strong scientific background in research on complex genetic disorders and the connection to the Institute of Human Genetics, Life & Brain also offers complete project management from Biobanking to Bioinformatics for genetic projects.

The major goal of the research group „Human Genomics“ is to identify the molecular (genetic) basis of selected human diseases, using forefront molecular genetic and omics-technologies and analysis methods.The group’s expertise bundles a profound understanding of the different research strategies that are needed to identify genetic factors for both monogenic and genetically complex phenotypes, in particular linkage studies, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Quantitative Trait Loci analysis. The employed strategies make use of recent technologies such as microarrays (DNA, RNA, methylation) and next-/third generation sequencing, in combination with bioinformatic/statistical analysis and interpretation of the resulting data.

Endomedicum is a privately held laboratory for laboratory medicine founded in July 2020. We are offering services in the field of endocrinology, diabetes and hormone analysis. Besides performing laboratory tests we have the mission to offer state of the art patient care by running several practises for general medicine.

LampSeq Diagnostics offers novel screening solutions for disease control and prevention meeting pandemic dimensions Our first-in-class technology platform connects pathogen detection with the capacity of next-generation sequencing.We provide qPCR-resolution at high throughput capacity and most affordable pricing. Our technology enables novel hygiene concepts in infectious disease outbreak management and prevention. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, mass-scale testing is key for public health maintenance in companies, administrations, schools and events.LampSeq Diagnostics is based on innovation and scientific excellence at University Hospital Bonn, Germany. Our joint primary focus is controlling SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.

The Genomics Imaging Group at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine, Research Center Jülich tries to get a better understanding of the structure and function of the human brain by combining genetic expertise in the field of high-throughput genomics and newest MRT and PET based imaging technologies. Working closely together with the Institute of Human Genetics, University of Bonn, the Genomics Research Group, University Hospital Basel and the Institut für Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie, Universitätsklinikum Essen, we are currently establishing a population based cohort to study the aging brain in the normal population.

The Institute of Human Genetics is a department of the Bonn University Hospital. We offer the following services within the context of health care: genetic counselling, cytogenetic diagnostics, and molecular genetic diagnostics for a range of monogenic inherited diseases.Besides health care services, a range of scientific human genetics research groups are active at the Institute. The main areas of research are neuropsychiatric diseases, dementia, gastric cancer, congenital malformations, hair loss (alopecia), mental retardation and molecular cytogenetics.
