The mission of the group is the development of novel genomics technologies and their application in a research context. The group combines research and development activities and follows independent research lines, with a strong focus on translational cancer research.

Dr. Heyn published 61 peer-reviewed scientific papers (24 as first author or senior author), including 51 original research articles, 6 Reviews and 3 book chapters. These include publications in high-ranked scientific journals, such as Science, Cell, Nature ReviewsGenetics, etc. The publications have been 4,872x cited, resulting in an h-index of 31 (Google Scholar).

Since then, he obtained further competitive funding to support his work on Systems Genomics at the CNAG-CRG. He is participating in several national and international research consortia, including the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) Project, European Epigenome Project BLUEPRINT (IHEC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
