The available research projects aim to understand and develop strategies to treat heart diseaseYou will combine epigenetic, chromatin interaction analysis and single-cell approaches to unravel regulatory mechanisms of heart function and disease. CRISPR-based functional genomics will allow you to explore and steer the regulatory mechanisms of heart diseaseYour studies will take advantage of in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical models, including hiPSC-derived systemsThe postdoctoral project will combine experimental (wet-lab) and computational (dry lab) approachesBe part of Geman Center of Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) and the collaborative research center CRC1550 "Molecular Circuits of Heart Disease".
