Marjan Ilkov’s research focuses on the intersection of proteomics and complex disease genetics, with a particular emphasis on identifying molecular drivers of metabolic conditions. Publicly indexed outputs suggest a significant contribution to the study of co-regulatory networks of human serum proteins, a 2018 Science publication with over 720 citations that links genetic variation to systemic disease. Ilkov’s work frequently explores how circulating protein signatures can serve as causal candidates for type 2 diabetes, utilizing large-scale proteomic datasets to bridge the gap between genomic loci and clinical phenotypes. Beyond metabolic health, Ilkov has contributed to large-scale consortia efforts, including a multi-ancestry sleep-by-SNP interaction analysis that identified lipid loci influenced by sleep duration. Recent indexed work from 2025 and 2026 indicates an expansion into neurogenomics, specifically involving machine learning and network biology to predict brain gene expression and the analysis of solute carrier superfamilies in Alzheimer’s disease. These contributions reflect a consistent research arc centered on leveraging high-dimensional multi-omic data and network modeling to clarify the biological mechanisms through which genetic variants influence human health and disease.
