**Job Details**:
**PhD position: Linking neurodevelopmental disorders and mitochondria in human neurons, using iPSC and xenotransplantation** We are looking for an ambitious PhD student with a broad interest in interdisciplinary research working in the exciting field of Neuroscience.**Project** While most genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) encode proteins involved in transcriptional/epigenetic regulation or synaptic function, increasing evidence suggests that mitochondria dynamics or function may be affected in at least some of these conditions.
- Among NDD potentially linked to mitochondria are Rett syndrome (RTT) and MECP2 duplication syndrome, both caused by abnormal dosage of MECP2 protein. We have developed a xenotransplantation model for both disorders, as well as novel ways to investigate the mitochondrial phenotypes in human diseased neurons (_Nageshappa et al. _Mol Psychiatry. (2016);21(2):178-88; _Linaro et al. Neuron (2019) 104(5):972-986; Iwata et al. Science (2023) 379: 1-9 science.abn4705). _Here we will explore whether and how mitochondrial abnormalities contribute to the neurological pathology in human neurons in vitro and in vivo. This project will lead to novel insights into NDD mechanisms and potentially to innovative therapeutic venues.**Profile**

- Previous research experience, especially regarding cell culture is a plus, but not essential.
- English is the main language and proficiency in written and spoken English is crucial.
- You are a good writer, and you are not afraid of public speaking (e.g., delivering a conference presentation,...)

- The possibility to participate in international conferences and collaborations.
- Doctoral training at the Leuven International Doctoral School of Biomedical Sciences
