Human Genetics

This research group studies all genetic aspects with a focus on patient observation, and the translation of clinical questions in short term research projects.

Han Brunner is regarded as one of the leading figures in the scientific understanding of the connections between clinical and molecular features of rare diseases, including applications to patient care. He has pioneered the discovery of a large number of disease genes, and the application of cutting-edge genomic technologies (genomic microarrays, exome sequencing, and whole genome sequencing) to discover the causes of genetic diseases. Much of this work focuses on neurodevelopmental conditions such as intellectual disability and abnormal behavior. Prof Brunner has published more than 300 articles in peer-reviewed journals, which have been cited > 20.000 times. Prof Brunner was elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2013, and of the Academia Europea in 2012. He is a Knight in the Order of the Dutch Lion since 2013.
