Job Description

JOB DESCRIPTION
The selected candidate will join the Badalona Neuromuscular Research Group (GRENBA) an interdisciplinary team based at the IGTP. The group integrates clinical experimental and computational approaches to investigate rare neuromuscular diseases with a particular focus on myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The fellow will contribute to the research line focused on the application of long-read sequencing technologies to study the repetitive region associated with DM1. Additionally the candidate will develop and implement innovative transcriptomic and metabolomic methodologies aimed at uncovering novel disease mechanisms.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
The research project will focus on the comprehensive characterization of the pathogenic DMPK repeat expansion associated with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) using cutting-edge long-read sequencing technologies. The specific tasks and responsibilities include:
  • Design and execution of experiments involving long-read sequencing to analyse repeat length sequence interruptions somatic mosaicism and methylation patterns at the DMPK locus.
  • Bioinformatic processing and analysis of long-read data including the development or adaptation of pipelines to study repetitive and epigenetically regulated regions.
  • Integration of multi-omics data including transcriptomic and metabolomic datasets to investigate disease mechanisms and identify potential biomarkers.
  • Collaboration with clinical and experimental teams to ensure translational relevance of the findings and contributions.
  • Preparation of scientific publications conference presentations and reports derived from the project outcomes.
  • Engagement with the broader MSCA network including participation in training activities and workshops.
