Support for Marie Curie Post-Doc Position in 
Brussels

Interested in cell therapy?

Excited about discovering regulators of a differentiation program?

Then, this could be an exciting post-doc opportunity for you while ‘Investigating the cell fate decisions during differentiation of ES-cells to thyroid gland using single-cell technologies’.

At the Institut de Recherche Interdisciplinaire en Biologie Humaine et moléculaire (IRIBHM), an Institute of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the research group of Dr Sabine Costagliola and Dr Sumeet Pal Singh are jointly offering support for Marie Curie Post-Doc application on using single-cell technologies to understand the directed differentiation of ES-cells into thyroid organoid.

The lab of Dr. Costagliola was the first to generate functional thyroid gland from mouse ES cells (Antonica et al., Nature, 2012). Together with Dr. Singh, an expert in single-cell transcriptome analysis (Singh et al., Scientific Reports, 2018), the project will aim to define the trajectory from naïve ES cells to functional thyroid gland using single-cell genomics. We hope to understand the bottlenecks and hurdles in the differentiation process so as to overcome them and generate a more efficient differentiation process.
