Molecular regulation of heart failure

Our lab studies the molecular mechanisms that regulate heart diseases. We have a main interest in molecular mechanisms of inherited cardiomyopathies and mechanisms of heart failure.

We offer a position to study the mechanisms underlying dilated cardiomyopathy developed as a consequence of a mutation in the Flnc gene. We will use mouse models and iPSCs to identify those mechanisms. The student will participate in the characterisation of the mouse and/or iPSC line, already generated in our lab. The student will familiarise themselves with echocardiography, ECG, histology and several molecular biology techniques.
