Simone Rubinacci leads a research group at FIMM, University of Helsinki. His lab focuses on identifying shared chromosomal segments (haplotypes) and analyzing how genetic variation influences human diversity and disease susceptibility. The group develops statistical methods to extract meaningful insights from noisy genomic data, including low-coverage whole-genome sequencing and SNP arrays. A core area of their research is the characterization of structural variation in the human genome and its impact on human health.
