Genes, Environment and Chronic Diseases

Molecular epidemiology of multi-drug resistance focuses on investigating the genetic basis and dissemination of bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics, with particular attention to resistance mechanisms, outbreak tracking using molecular techniques, and the evolutionary dynamics of resistant strains.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. In January 2020, the disease spread worldwide, resulting in the COVID-19 pandemic.

This project focuses on studies around brain disorders and ageing.

We investigate telomeric fragments in cell-free DNA in blood plasma in disease. We aim to develop novel diagnostic approaches to identify and monitor disease status in cancers and chronic disorders through liquid biopsies.

We develop bioinformatics algorithms and tools to explore the temporal dynamics of microbiome communities in response to environmental perturbations and treatments. We seek to understand the mechanisms through which the direct effects of perturbations propagate via microbial interaction networks, leading to changes in microbiome composition over time.Through application of these techniques we study antibiotic resistance in complex microbial communities, the impact of pesticides on bee gut microbiome ...

This dataset provides data necessary to replicate the results of the time-perturbation analysis of gene expression in health and mental disorders. The corresponding code is available in the GitHub repository under the https://github.com/susieavagyan/BrainExp-TemporalDynamics link.
