Phd in Molecular Microbiology: Unraveling Mutational Robustness and Evolvability in Bacteria

**Job description**: This is a starting lab, meaning the postdoc will get significant hands-on time with brand-new mass spectrometers and other cutting-edge equipment, and will play a prominent leadership role in shaping the lab environment. The postdoc should be open to working in interdisciplinary collaborations to broaden their scientific network and...

**Who we are**: The lab for Systems Biology of Kevin Verstrepen is a research team at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology. Our team focuses on genomics, genetics, epigenetics, transcriptomics and evolution, using yeast as a model. We combine wet lab and computational research to investigate how biological systems work and evolve and use this knowledge...

**Research Project**: “Linking human-specific synaptic developmental timing to early cortical circuit function and plasticity in ASD” This project addresses a compelling hypothesis: that disruption in the uniquely human prolonged timeline of synapse development—synaptic neoteny—contributes to ASD. The project will explore how SYNGAP1...

When cancer cells leave the primary tumor to seed in other organs, they need to seek the help of different cell types in distinct environments to make their journey successful. Lymph nodes (LN), which counterintuitively are centers for T-cell-antigen priming, are the first metastatic relay before cancer cells disseminate to distant organs. Thereby,...
