Brief presentation
The Almstrup group is mainly located at the Department of Growth and Reproduction, at Copenhagen University Hospital - Rigshospitalet but is also affiliated with the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, at University of Copenhagen. Our research focus on studies that connect genetic and epigenetic variation to reproductive endpoints, testicular gene expression and functional studies of sperm cells.
