Kristīne Vīksne

Kristīne Vīksne is a Researcher at the Institute of Oncology and Molecular Genetics, affiliated with the Scientific Laboratory of Molecular Genetics. Her work focuses on molecular genetics, genomics, and biotechnology, particularly in biomarker discovery, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, and microbiome dynamics.

Her research spans interdisciplinary domains, including cardiovascular diseases, oral microbiology, and animal genetics. She has contributed to projects examining clonal hematopoiesis in cardiovascular conditions, genetic etiology of hereditary angioedema, and SNP profiles in Latvian cattle breeds. Her publications highlight the impact of nicotine products on oral microbes and the role of genetic markers in disease variability.

Recent studies reveal trends in microbiome analysis (2024), genetic profiling of livestock (2023), and polygenic risk factors in cardiology (2021), underscoring her expertise in translating molecular genetics to diverse clinical and agricultural contexts.
