To address the molecular pathways in primate astrocyte evolution
Our lab focuses on the evolution of transcriptomes and regulomes of primate astrocytes. In our recent paper (Ciuba et al., 2025, Cell Stem Cell), we uncovered genes and DNA regulatory elements that likely underlie the changes in morphology and functions of astrocytes in humans compared to non-human primates (chimpanzees and macaques). In current projects, using a combination of molecular biology techniques (e.g.: single nucleus RNA-seq), genome engineering approaches (CRISPR-Cas9), and cutting-edge mouse chimera models, we aim to address how the pathways we uncovered act to change astrocyte biology in evolution.
Requirements
· PhD candidates should hold a master’s degree in molecular biology, biotechnology, or genetics.
· PostDoc candidates should hold a PhD degree in neurosciences or molecular biology/genetics.
We require excellent work organization skills, a creative approach to research problems, team collaboration skills and motivation. Experience in laboratory work is necessary.
