PhD Students Wanted!
Our group:
• uses human embryonic stem cells to model neural differentiation in vitro. Using several model
systems, we study:
1. Molecular mechanisms of neural differentiation
How is the differentiation regulated on a molecular level?
Is cell division cycle involved?
Do microRNA contribute to this process?
2. Cerebral organoids, Alzheimer’s disease and p53
Can we create “minibrains” in the dish?
Can we model Alzheimer’s disease in vitro?
Is p53 protein necessary for neuronal development?
We are looking for PhD candidate(s):
• fascinated by how cells differentiate and how this process is regulated
• familiar with basic methods of molecular biology and/or cell culture
• able to work independently on their own project and also willing to help others when needed
• eager to apply for their own (student’s) grants and attend scientific conferences
• friendly, outgoing, and smart
You will gain experience in:
• human embryonic stem cell culture and differentiation protocols
• basic and advanced molecular biology techniques
• data evaluation and presentation
• grant proposal and manuscript writing
• …and more!
All nationalities welcome!
Are you:
• looking for a PhD position now/starting in September 2018?
• curious about human embryonic stem cells?
• familiar with molecular or cell biology?
Look no more - We want you!
