The research group
We are interested in the role of stem cells in cell turnover in healthy and pathological situations. We study the identity of stem cells and the organization of cellular lineages, the molecular regulation of cell production and the role of cell renewal in homeostasis and pathological situations. Many of our projects focus on stem cells in the brain and spinal cord and adult neurogenesis.
We have recently developed a method for profiling the global expression patterns of RNA in tissue sections called ‘Spatial Transcriptomics.’ We are currently interested in applying this technology to a range of pressing biomedical questions including the spatial organization of stem cells in healthy and diseased tissues and the spatial distribution of immune cells in different cancers and autoimmune lesions.
Description
We are recruiting for a research assistant position in the lab to support ongoing projects in the field of spatial transcriptomics and cancer immunobiology. The work will be focused on using state of the art sequencing technologies and thus requires a background in both molecular biology and computational biology. Previous experience working with single cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic data generation and analysis is required.
