Han Brunner is professor of medical genetics and head of the department of human genetics at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre.
Prof. Dr. Han G. Brunner

Research interests include the molecular basis of congenital malformations and their implications in understanding developmental processes. Current projects focus on disease gene identification by linkage mapping, and by microarray. In collaboration with researchers at the CMBI, new bioinformatics approaches to the classification of phenotypes and their application to candidate gene identification for multifactorial diseases are developed.
