The Amsterdam Leukodystrophy Center at Amsterdam UMC is offering a PhD position focused on understanding astrocyte dysfunction in the leukodystrophy MLC. This project aims to investigate the mechanisms behind astrocyte dysfunction in MLC and explore therapeutic interventions to restore normal cell function. The candidate will work with transgenic animal models, conduct molecular and cellular studies, and contribute to developing potential treatments for this severe neurological disorder. Applicants should have a strong background in neurosciences or biomedical sciences, with a keen interest in neurological diseases and astrocyte physiology.
