Positions are available on projects focusing on understanding transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms controlling fibroblast activation as well as RNA translational mechanisms controlling cardiomyocyte differentiation and maturation. The specific projects will include analyses of mouse models, induced pluripotent stem cells and primary cell culture using a variety of molecular, biochemical and functional techniques. Projects funded by an ERC starting grant and a Telethon-Cariplo grant.

We are looking for ambitious and motivated young scientists to join our team and study the epigenetic and molecular mechanisms controlling cardiac fibrosis and heart regeneration.

Previous research experience in cardiovascular biology, epigenetics, or cellular and molecular biology is required. A Master’s degree in Biology, Molecular Biotechnology, or a related field is mandatory.
