معرفی
Erik Martin Broberg is a Senior Researcher at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), University of Helsinki, specializing in human genetics with emphasis on cardiovascular disorders, sleep-related conditions, and post-viral syndromes like long COVID. He actively contributes to major international genomic consortia including FinnGen and the Long COVID Host Genetics Initiative, leveraging large-scale biobank data for translational research.
His research expertise spans:
- Cardiovascular genetics focusing on congenital heart defects and left-sided outflow tract obstructions
- Sleep disorder genetics investigating obstructive sleep apnea and psychiatric comorbidities
- Host genetic factors in long-term viral sequelae, particularly long COVID
- Advanced genomic methodologies including GWAS and Mendelian randomization
Broberg's publication trends reveal intensive focus on applying genomic approaches to cardiometabolic conditions and post-infectious syndromes, with increasing emphasis on causal inference through large international collaborations and biobank integration.
He participates in multiple major funded projects:
- ERC grant EU_ERC_Helle (2023-2028) on inherited factors in chronic fatigue syndrome
- Academy of Finland project on long COVID (2022-2025)
- NIH grant on Long COVID (2022-2025)
- Foundation project on chronic fatigue (2018-2022)
Broberg operates within FIMM's translational research ecosystem and maintains extensive collaborations through FinnGen and global genetics consortia, driving genomic medicine applications in cardiovascular and post-viral conditions.
