Thoms Lab

If you are interested in working with us, please send a message. We continuioulsy offer MSc, BSc, and lab rotation procects in our three reserach areas. Please contact us if your are interested in upcoming PhD projects or in working with us as a Postdoc (research and/or teaching). 

​

In one project, you will be studying translational readthrough. Our lab has a dual interest in readthrough. On one end, you will analyse endogenous translational readthrough, see our Plos Genetics review for an introduction. On the other hand, we are using bioinformatics  to improve readthrough therapies of rare diseases. Programming skills are welcome but not madatory for this project as this is a wet lab molecular biology / Molecular Medicine project. Please contact us for more details.

​

In one project, we offer the opportunity to work in the field of  Molecular Cardiology. You will be studying the function of peroxisomes in the heart, using mouse and human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPS) cardiomyocytes. Please contact us for more details.

​

In another project, you will be studying the function of Dysferlin in a biochemical setting. This project involves protein purification and in vitro systems, so it is great for someone with a strong interest in biochemistry. For our (more physiological) work on Dysferlin, see Julia's papers on Dysferlin in the skeletal muscle and in the heart, and the great Ferlin review by Anna Bulankina. Please contact us for more details.
