- PhD Position in Toxicology
- 100%, Zurich, fixed-term print Drucken
Application process
- Researchers develop and apply quantitative chemical, in vitro, and computational approaches to address problems in Toxicology. Project background
- We develop and apply bioanalysis approaches to map DNA damage at single-base resolution.
- Through application of these methods to clinically relevant biological material, we aim to mechanistically dissect the role of DNA damage in aging and disease. Job description
- A PhD position is available concerning UV-induced skin aging and enabling biomarker technologies for prevention.
- The group addresses mechanisms of genome instability of diverse physical and chemical exposures, such as from the environment, lifestyle factors and drugs, as well as cellular metabolism and oxidative stress.
- In this PhD project, you will expand this research to uncover biomarkers of aging, a process driven by DNA damage.
- You will use DNA sequencing and related methods to characterize cellular responses to stress and following interventions.
- Using bioinformatics, these data will be integrated with characteristics such as gene expression and DNA methylation. Profile
Contacts
- Further information about the Laboratory of Toxicology can be found on our Website .
- Questions regarding the position should be directed to the following e-mail adress, [email protected] (no applications).
Company and context
- Building on these newly established tools, we integrate complementary multi-omic approaches to characterize DNA damage in the context of genome organization and function.
