PhD in Neuronal DNA Repair and Mechanobiology at Erasmus MC Erasmus MC in Netherlands

PhD position at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, focused on transcription stress , transcription-coupled DNA repair , and how mechanical stress affects genome stability in differentiated human neurons . The project uses iPSC-derived neurons , CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing , and advanced live-cell imaging to study how mechanical forces influence transcription integrity, DNA repair, and neuronal stress responses. The work is positioned at the intersection of neuroscience , molecular biology , ...
