Lund University, Sweden
Biography

Vivien Horvath completed her PhD in Biomedicine at Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona. Currently, she is a senior postdoctoral researcher at Lund University/Lund Stem Cell Center. Her research focuses on the non-coding genome, particularly transposable elements, in age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Vivien investigates how repetitive sequences and their epigenetic regulators, like DNA methylation, affect gene expression and disease progression, currently focusing on X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism. In her research she uses nanopore sequencing to identify methylation patterns over transposable elements and to discover previously hidden non-coding insertions.
