Radboudumc
The project is embedded in the Radboudumc at the interface of the departments of
Neurology, Genetics, and the
Translational Metabolic Laboratory. Research in these departments is focused on Neurogenetic diseases, aiming for improved diagnosis, better understanding of underlying pathophysiology and development of novel therapeutic strategies.
The current position is in the Lefeber group '
Glycosylation Disorders in Neurology' and will physically be located in the Translational Metabolic Laboratory and Human Genetics. The combined infrastructure is highly innovative including the Radboudumc Technology Center for mass spectrometry (proteomics, glycomics and (sugar)metabolomics) with a wide range of analytical equipment and mass spectrometers, the department of Human Genetics with all modern genomics tools, including next-generation sequencing, CRISPS/Cas9 genome editing, and the Radboudumc stem cell facility.
The research of both groups is embedded in the Donders Institute for Medical Neuroscience which harbors a range of top researchers in the field of neurogenetic disease, and the Research Theme Metabolic Disorders.
