PhD on the role of Dystrophin in muscle progenitors in Drosophila

We are recruiting a PhD student through a Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND programme to study the role of dystrophin in muscle progenitor cells using Drosophila as a model system. The project will combine advanced live cell imaging, single-cell approaches, and genetics to investigate how dystrophin regulates the behaviour and fate of muscle progenitors during development. We are looking for highly motivated candidates interested in developmental biology, cell biology, and quantitative approaches. Eligibility note: due to MSCA mobility rules, applicants must come from outside France or have lived in France for less than 12 months during the past 3 years.
