Dyadic cleft alteration in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia

The dyadic cleft is the biological structure responsible for the contraction of the cardiac myocyte and it is made of a calcium storage unit, the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (jSR) and a trigger unit the transverse tubule (t-tubule). Read more

Understanding the causes and consequences of heterogeneous regulation of translation elongation in disease

The interface between biochemistry and cell biology is a major scientific challenge; while we can dissect complex biological mechanisms in vitro, studying them in the context of a living cell is more difficult. Read more

Mechanistic analysis of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by mutations in the gene RAC1

RAC1 is a signalling protein that regulates many cellular processes and is essential during embryonic development. We recently discovered a novel genetic disease called RAC1-related neurodevelopmental disorder (RAC1-NDD) that results from mutations in the RAC1 gene. Read more

Survival of the fattest: adaptions in the birds of the High Arctic

Biomechanical and behavioral techniques are widely used to examine how selection shapes an organism’s phenotype. However, such examinations are far from straight forward, as selection rarely acts on phenotypic traits in isolation. Read more

Long-term behaviour of Markov chains

Several projects are available, studying idealised Markovian models of epidemic, population and network processes. The emphasis will mostly be on theoretical aspects of the models, involving advanced probability theory. Read more
