Section overview
Description
We are an interdisciplinary research group interested in discovering the causes of childhood asthma and allergies. Our group comprises researchers from epidemiology, statistics, immunology, genetics and clinical medicine. Over the last 20 years we have been involved in a number of large multicentre interdisciplinary research projects, mainly focussing on the role of genetic and environmental determinants for childhood asthma and allergies. Asthma is one of the major epidemic illnesses in children with an estimated total burden in the 25 EU member states of 3.0 billion Euro each year.
