DETAILS OF THE OFFER | The PhD candidate will apply methodological and analytical cellular and molecular approaches perform research studies on PURA duplication associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder. He/She will work closely with other team members to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms using primary neuronal cultures from mouse embryonic brains and from iPSC-derived neurons overexpressing the PURA gene. He/She will study the neuronal developmental processes altered by the PURA gene duplication, interpret the biological results, communicate his/her research findings to the scientific community. This PhD fellowship will benefit from practical and theoretical training organized by the INSERM and by the University of Tours. This work will be carried out in Team “Neurogenomics and neuronal pathophysiology” at the Imaging and Brain (iBrain–UMR1253) research lab in Tours, France (https://ibrain.univ-tours.fr) |
