Britt Drögemöller, PhD

Research summary

The Drögemöller Lab at the University of Manitoba is at the forefront of precision medicine, using cutting-edge genomics and bioinformatics techniques to unlock the secrets of human disease. The lab is focused on understanding the genetic factors that contribute to disease, with a specific emphasis on vulnerable and understudied populations such as pediatric and maternal patients. Through large-scale genomic and computational analyses, the lab is working to improve our understanding of how genetic variation contributes to human disease and pave the way for individualized treatments for rare and common diseases. By leveraging the power of pharmacogenomics, the Drögemöller Lab is working to create more effective and safer treatments, while also improving the lives of patients who have been traditionally overlooked by the medical community.
