POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITY: APOSTD Candidate

How does genome architecture shape expression of long genes and neuronal identity?

RESEARCH PROJECT

The successful candidate will investigate how chromatin architecture influences the expression and processing of long genes, with a particular focus on the interplay between 3D genome organization, chromatin dynamics, transcription of long genes, co-transcriptional RNA splicing, and gene regulatory mechanisms that shape neuronal cell identity and neurodevelopmental disorders.
