Erasmus MC
The Erasmus MC stands for a healthy population and excellence in healthcare. By conducting groundbreaking work, we aim to push boundaries through leading the way in research, education and healthcare. We have a high level of expertise, and work hard to improve and renew the healthcare of today and the public health of tomorrow. We have access to the latest equipment and techniques in a state-of-the-art environment.
The candidate will be appointed at the department of Developmental Biology in the research team of dr. C. Gontan Pardo. The group uses a multidisciplinary approach to advance the understanding of human X chromosome inactivation and X-linked neurodevelopmental disorders. More information about the research activities of the lab can be found at:
https://amazingerasmusmc.com/molecular-genetics/cristina-gontan-pardo-is-fascinated-by-the-x-chromosome/ The department of Developmental Biology performs basic research and is involved in several teaching and training programs. We aim to unravel the epigenetic mechanisms regulating cell fate decisions in the cycle of life, and to translate this knowledge to understand deregulations that may occur in X-linked diseases, cancer, infertility, and aging.
The candidate will be offered excellent training and supervision.
