Job description
Function title: PhD Student
Patients with mutations in the CRB1 gene suffer from retinal degeneration leading to blindness. CRB1 plays an important role in the maintenance of photoreceptor cell polarity and cellular interactions between photoreceptors and M%uF895ller glia cells. The PhD student will study members of the CRB complex, e.g. MAGUK and PDZ proteins, by functional experiments in retina and brain. The PhD student will join a team of 5 postdocs, 1 PhD student and a research assistant that elucidates the cell biological pathways of CRB1 and interacting proteins in cell polarity and adhesion (Hum. Mol. Genet. 15 :2659-72; 15:1291-302; 15: R235-R243; J. Neurosci. 27:564-573).
