PostDoc - Bioinformatics for immune system

Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute IDIBELL

Barcelona, Spain

Description

A Postdoctoral Contract for a Bionformatician is offered in the Chromatin and Disease Group (led by Dr. Esteban Ballestar) within the Cancer Epigenetics and Biology Programme (PEBC) at the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) in Barcelona. Research in the laboratory focuses in epigenetic deregulation mechanisms in the immune system, particularly in the context of autoimmune disease and different differentiation models relevant to immune-related disease [Javierre et al. (2010) Genome Res. 20, 170-179; Ballestar (2011) Nature Reviews Rheumatology 7, 263-271; Rodriguez-Ubreva et al.
