Modulation of fibrogenesis and adipogenesis during skeletal muscle regeneration
During this master project (M2) the student will apply the above method to obtain proof of principle that targeting selected candidate genes can efficiently induce or suppress intramuscular adipose tissue formation.
Investigating cooption of developmental programs in a chick model of medulloblastoma
During this M2 project, the student will work on a recently developed model of medulloblastoma in the chick embryo.
Dynamics of PRC1 chromatin factors during neuronal differentiation and reprogramming
During this master project (M1 or M2), the student will analyze the dynamics of PRC1 dots during neuronal specification and maintenance by in vivo time-lapse imaging, and characterize the nature of these dots.
The control of fat metabolism by oppositely acting transcription factors
The M2 project will use state-of-the-art genomics profiling techniques, Drosophila genetics, imaging and molecular biology for studying the antagonistic transcriptional control and dysfunction of fat body lipid metabolism development.
Investigating the mechanobiology of self-organisation in human iPSC-derived skeletal muscles
The successful completion of the project will allow you to answer how mechanical tension is generated inside human myofibers by integrating intracellular molecular forces and extracellular mechanical environment.
The Transcriptional Regulation of Muscle Development by Hox Transcription Factors
The M2 project will use state-of-the-art genomics profiling techniques, Drosophila genetics, imaging and molecular biology for studying muscle development.
