Chantal Mathieu and dr. Conny Gysemans, we are dedicated to preventing and treating type 1 diabetes through pioneering research and global collaborations. Our mission is to translate laboratory discoveries into life-changing clinical solutions, working toward a future free from type 1 diabetes. Leveraging novel single-cell and spatial multi-omics technologies to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving type 1 diabetes development presents a powerful and integrated approach to uncover the disease's complex pathogenesis. These technologies can provide insights into cellular heterogeneity, tissue niches and interactions, and pathogenic pathways, leading to the identification of biomarkers of early diagnosis and disease progression as well as uncovering novel therapeutic targets. However, methods to analyze these complex data sets are still largely lacking. We are looking for an interdisciplinary scientist that is eager to develop approaches to analyze and integrate mouse and human single-cell, single-nucleus, and spatial data across modalities and apply these methods to further progress our understanding of type 1 diabetes development and propose therapeutic options. You will work very closely together with our wet-lab for data generation and experimental validations.Career DevelopmentA one-year postdoctoral position with the possibility to extend. Candidates are encouraged to apply for additional (inter)national funding and fellowships. Scientific training & career center with tailored offers.Scientific ResourcesState-of-the-art infrastructure and Core Facilities.Family SupportOn-site kindergarten, holiday care.Health PromotionSports, institute physicians, mental health initiatives.International Staff ServiceSupport with the relocation and integration process in Leuven, a historic, dynamic and lively city in the heart of Belgium, within close proximity to major European capitals.
