A postdoctoral position, supervised by Dr Alice Lepelley, is available in Prof. Yanick Crow’s laboratory at the
Imagine Institute (Paris) to study the role of mitochondria in the type I interferonopathies. The postdoctoral researcher, supervised by Dr Lepelley, will study the mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA release in the context of mutated ATAD3A, and the function(s) of ATAD3A implicated e.g. relating to mitochondrial inner membrane structure, stability of the nucleoid and mitophagy etc. The project will involve the use of human primary cell cultures, cell lines and iPSCs.
