Postdoc EMBRACE
Offer DescriptionProject title: Discovery of novel candidate mechanisms that cause atrial arrhythmias using IPS-derived
atrial cardiomyocytes and engineered heart tissue. Are you the postdoctoral researcher who will be part
of the Dutch Heart Foundation’s effort to find a new therapy for atrial arrhythmias?Job Description
Atrial arrhythmias are the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia and are expected to become even more common in the future. Unfortunately, atrial arrhythmias are often not recognized in a timely manner, resulting in severely diseased atria. This makes effective treatment increasingly difficult, both for atrial arrhythmiasitself and for underlying risk factors and heart diseases. The future challenge is to detect atrial arrhythmias at an early stage to prevent progression towards diseased atria. To achieve this, novel mechanistic insights are crucial.
The postdoctoral researcher will take the lead in a research project that is part of a Dutch national consortium called EMBRACE, funded by the Dutch Heart Foundation. The EMBRACE network aims to elucidate the diversity of mechanisms underlying arrhythmogenic atrial diseases, to develop simple diagnostic tools to identify them, and to develop a therapeutic approach to prevent the pathological progression of atrial diseases and thus the occurrence of arrhythmias. The research project will involve using stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and engineered tissue to establish a genotype-phenotype relationship between newly discovered genes associated with atrial arrhythmias and the progression of atrial disease.Responsibilities/tasks of the postdoctoral researcher:
