The LUMC Department of Molecular Cell Biology is looking for a Scientific researcher for the TGF-â Signal Transduction group to perform genetic and biochemical screens to identify novel secreted BMP and Wnts agonists and antagonists. These molecules will be used to design new strategies to promote bone formation, including targeting of the inhibitors with (synthetic) neutralising antibodies. The research is part of a project that seeks to elucidate new mechanisms by which extracellular cues regulate BMP and Wnt signal transduction in bone formation.

University Graduate
We are seeking a candidate with a university degree and preferably a PhD. You also have experience in signal transduction related to growth factors. You have experience of working in a research environment, are flexible, communicative and highly motivated.

- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers (Scientific expertise: Health)
