The role

We are looking to cover a position in computational science for analysis of biological data. Specifically we are looking to identify a computational scientist to analyse genomic data to identify master regulators of retinal regeneration.

About the lab

Our laboratory, the Reprogramming and Regeneration Laboratory, is studying the mechanisms controlling somatic cell reprogramming and tissue regeneration. In particular, we are studying how the Wnt/b-catenin signalling pathway controls these processes, and how cell-fusion-mediated cellular reprogramming contributes to tissue regeneration and homeostasis. We tackle these questions with different approaches and through different disciplines, which range from the nanoscale level of observation of cell functions, up to the whole mouse organ.
