Postdoctoral Researcher for CMT

[Guest guest]

The Peripheral Neuropathy Group within the VIB - Department of

Molecular Genetics is looking for a

Postdoctoral Researcher for CMT

We have contributed to the identification of genes responsible for

various types of inherited peripheral neuropathies. The identification

of genes and disease-associated mutations is the first step in

understanding the pathomechanisms, and opens new perspectives for

molecular genetic diagnosis and therapy. Genotype/phenotype

correlations guide the selection of specific mutations suitable for

functional analysis in cellular systems and model organisms.

One of our projects aims to study a the effect of mutations in a gene

that we recently identified for Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy. The

postdoc will apply molecular genetic and cell biology tools to study

specific mutations.
