About this position
This postdoctoral project at the University Medical Centre Groningen focuses on multiple sclerosis lesion evolution, with a particular emphasis on the molecular differences between lesion rims and cores. The work addresses how ongoing demyelination and failed or successful remyelination shape disease progression in the central nervous system.
You will contribute to a multi-omics research programme that combines global proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling with region-specific long-read RNA sequencing. The aim is to decode region-distinct cellular signaling and regulatory networks, and to connect RNA and protein isoforms with the biological processes involved in lesion expansion and lesion transition.
The project is embedded in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at UMCG and in the MS Center Noord Nederland, a collaborative environment linking biomedical research and patient care across neurology and biomedical science groups in Groningen and the Northern Netherlands. The advertised work sits at the interface of neurobiology, disease mechanisms, and translational discovery, with the goal of improving understanding of MS and identifying novel therapeutic targets.
The position is supervised by Dr. Wia Baron, Dr. Susanne Kooistra, and Prof. dr. Bart Eggen.
