Dr. Mohamad Ballan

Member of the AI & Bioinformatics Group, Centre for Individualised Infection Medicine (CiiM)

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Bioinformatics at the Centre for Individualised Infection Medicine (CiiM) at Hannover Medical School. Throughout my academic and research journey, I have developed experience in multi-omics data analysis, integrating genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic data, including disease-specific eQTL, EWAS, and GWAS analyses, to better understand complex biological systems. My research focuses on how genetic variation and DNA methylation interact to shape immune responses, with the goal of understanding why individuals differ in their susceptibility to immune-related diseases and helping advance personalized medicine. Within CAIMed, my work plays a key role in the integration and analysis of complex biomedical data, directly supporting the consortium's goal of advancing data-driven and individualized medicine.
