PhD Candidate in Genome dynamics during neurodevelopment
4 weeks ago
About the job
There is a vacancy for one PhD candidate at The Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)). The PhD candidate will work on genome dynamics mechanisms and the role of DNA repair in regulation of neurodevelopmental gene expression.
Van Loon lab home page:
The project focuses on understanding how processing of aberrant DNA bases impacts gene expression during neurodevelopment. Specifically, this project aims to identify the contribution of aberrant DNA bases in regulation of gene expression at different stages of neurodevelopment by applying biochemical and molecular tools, as well as advancing approaches for mapping of aberrant DNA bases.
The project will combine biochemical, molecular and cell biology approaches together with the large data sets to identify genome dynamics processes across developmental stages.
