PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Identification of molecular mechanisms of action and direct target genes of developmental signalling pathways in sponges
This project will focus on two pan-animal signaling pathways, Wnt and TGF-beta, which are involved in a variety of developmemtal processes, such as symmetry breaking during embryonic development, axial patterning and regeneration. The techniques to be used include investigation of protein localization, protein-protein interactions and Chip-Seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing).
This project is open to PhD students
