    Collapse Overview
    Debora Sobreira is committed to advancing our understanding of gene regulation within human tissues and cells, particularly in the context of complex diseases. To achieve this, her employ a wide range of cutting-edge technologies and systems, with a primary focus on transforming GWAS-identified genetic risk locations associated with metabolic diseases and traits into their functional roles, a process referred to as "Variants-to-Function" (V2F).

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
