Foreign Student Scholarship Description: The study and diagnosis of (neuro) metabolic disease is the main purpose of the DNA unit at the Metabolic Laboratory of the department of clinical chemistry. The department is localized at the VU University Medical Center (VUMC). Neuroscience research is embedded in Amsterdam Campus. The-Post doc will be involved in developing new genetic tests to detect disease causing mutations in genes associated with neurometabolic disorders, disorders of white matter and the genes involved in one carbon metabolism.Foreign Student Scholarship Participants must have an interest in innovation and ideally have experience in order exome. To identify disease-causing variants, data analysis and the development of functional testing will be important. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com

You will collaborate with clinical molecular genetics and biochemistry, PhD students, scientists and technicians. About 50% of demand comes from abroad DNA.Foreign Student Scholarship

Since many of the disorders that we offer diagnostic very rare, only one or a few diagnostic laboratories offer a whole world, and so we often collaborate with international laboratories. Not infrequently the results form the basis of novel research and papers published in peer review journals.
