About this position
Postdoctoral opening at the University of Padova in the HSC Gene Therapy Laboratory, Istituto di Ricerca Pediatrica, Department of Women’s and Children’s Health.
The project focuses on HSC gene therapy for Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD), including development and preclinical validation of an autologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy approach for a rare autoinflammatory disease caused by MVK variants.
Research activities include restoring MVK function in patient-derived hematopoietic cells using a lentiviral vector platform, and testing therapeutic potential in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. The work involves HSCs, iPSC models, and humanized xenotransplantation systems.
Applicants should have a background in biological, biomedical, or related sciences, with strong skills in molecular and cellular biology. Experience with HSC manipulation, transduction, iPSC models, flow cytometry, and murine models is desirable.
The position is open until filled and the post indicates the role is based in Padua, Italy. Interested candidates should apply by email to the contacts provided in the post.
