1. The available research projects aim to understand and develop strategies to treat heart disease
2. You 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 disease
3. Your studies will take advantage of in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical models, including hiPSC-derived systems
4. The postdoctoral project will combine experimental (wet-lab) and computational (dry lab) approaches
