I am a postdoctoral translational researcher who aims to utilise novel technologies and methodologies with a goal to better understand the molecular mechanisms of human diseases. During my PhD at the department of human genetics of Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) I performed genomic and immunological experiments to show how genetic mutations can lead to different (immunological and developmental) disorders. In patient-focused research projects I have shown that disease gene identification is important for the diagnosis and clinical management of human (immunological) diseases.
After finishing my PhD in 2017, Peer relocated to Adelaide to become a post-doctoral fellow in the research team of Professor Hamish Scott at the Centre for Cancer Biology (CCB). Within this research group we apply multi-omics tools (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics) to understand the pathogenesis of different genetic diseases, ranging from early (perinatal) lethal conditions to predisposition to haematological malignancies.
