PhD position at the Princess Maxima Center, Utrecht

We are looking for a motivated, talented and energetic PhD student to join our lab under the supervision of Dr. Benedetta Artegiani and Dr. Delilah Hendriks.

Our lab has expertise and interest in liver and brain biology and their associated diseases.

To this end, in the past years, we have developed 3D human organoid culture systems to grow mini-livers and mini-brains in a dish. We use these models together with state-of-the-art technologies such as for instance CRISPR-Cas9, to model different diseases, such as cancer and genetic disease, and to understand mechanisms underlining the pathogenesis as well as regulating proper organ development.

This PhD position is fully funded (4-years) by a recent grant from the Dutch cancer society (KWF). This project will deal with understanding how chronic liver disease develops into cancer. To read more about the project, visit the link below:
