Two year postdoctoral position in kidney development/pathophysiology in the RF-lab
We have a 2 year post-doctoral position available to study the role of specific proteins involved in congenital anomalies of the kidney and the urinary tract (CAKUT)1. Clinical management of CAKUT is severely hampered by the lack of tools to predict and manage its progression towards kidney failure and its complications. In the past we have identified a number of urinary markers of obstructive CAKUTs that allowed prediction of future renal function2,3 that could lead to improved management of the disease. In more recent projects we have identified and confirmed a number of proteins in amniotic fluid that were strongly associated to severe CAKUTRead More →
