Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
You will be part of a team of 14 ESRs working on the V.A. Cure project, which aims to uncover core mechanisms of initiation and maintenance of Vascular Anomalies with the final goal to establish novel therapeutic strategies. The project is funded by the EU MSCA-ITN programme.
You will work on a research project with the following objectives:
• To identify primary (causative) and secondary effects, of genetic loss of function in the establishment of AVMs, at a transcriptional level and to relate these to the transcriptional profile of Vascular and lymphatic malformation.
• Use the above information to propose new targeting strategies.
• To test targeting strategies in in vitro systems with a cellular functional readout.
• To validate therapeutic potential in mouse models of HHT1.
You will also take part in the international training programme of the network and in outreach events.
