Our collegial and friendly research group (Prof. Hashemolhosseini, Chair Prof. Wegner) is interested in molecular physiological and pathophysiological aspects of skeletal muscle biology; in particular also muscular dystrophies, myopathies, myasthenias and muscle tumors (rhabdomyosarcoma).
Recent papers or our lab:
Crosstalk among canonical Wnt and Hippo pathway members in skeletal muscle and at the neuromuscular junction.

The YAP1/TAZ-TEAD transcriptional network regulates gene expression at neuromuscular junctions in skeletal muscle fibers.
Gessler L, Huraskin D, Jian Y, Eiber N, Hu Z, Prószyński TJ, Hashemolhosseini S. Nucleic Acids Res. 2024 Jan 25;52(2):600-624. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkad1124. PMID: 38048326 A broad spectrum of molecular and cell biological methods, transgenic mouse models and diagnostic analysis of patient material will be used. We are looking for motivated applicants from the field of biochemistry/biology/chemistry/molecular medicine for a PhD project. We offer a friendly and collegial working atmosphere and a flat hierarchy.
We also help candidates on their further career path after graduation.
International candidates from abroad, which are not available within 2-3 month due too many administrative hurdles are not suitable and might not receive any response. Thank you for understanding.
