Functional genomics

A Keystone Symposium connecting genetics, functional genomics, developmental neurobiology, and industry to identify convergent mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities in neurodevelopmental disorders.

The Laboratory for Functional Genomics and Gene Regulation at VIB–KU Leuven seeks a postdoctoral researcher studying cancer-cell plasticity, using pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma as the main model. The project investigates how gene regulation permits changes in cellular identity, environmental adaptation and treatment evasion. Functional genomics is combined with advanced cancer models and access to single-cell and spatial technologies, imaging, metabolomics and animal research. The researcher will take ownership of emerging projects and help develop experimental approaches in a growing labor

…genetics, proteomics, metabolomics and functional genomics to study microbial stress responses, biofilms, horizontal gene transfer, community stability and root colonization. Responsibilities include microbial engineering, quantitative assays, sequencing analysis and reproducible experimental records. The anticipated start is January 1, 2027. Priority consideration is November 2, 2026; applications continue until the posting is removed.
