Hepatitis C virus-induced modulation of microRNA in hepatocytes and liver disease pathogenesis

A PhD position is open at the Inserm Unit U1110 and the Laboratory of Excellence HepSYS (Head: Prof. Thomas F. Baumert, MD) at the University of Strasbourg, France in the team of Prof. Thomas Baumert and Dr. Mirjam Zeisel. The unit is located in an excellent infrastructure on the campus of the University of Strasbourg in an outstanding scientific environment.



The Inserm unit program focuses on the molecular investigation of virus-host interactions and liver diseases as well as the development of novel antivirals and vaccines with a focus on hepatitis B and C viruses (see Mailly et al. Nature Biotechnology 2015; Majzoub et al. Cell; 2014, Zona, Lupberger et al. Cell Host Microbe; Lupberger, Zeisel et al. Nature Medicine 2011, Fafi-Kremer et al. J. Exp. Med. 2010). This PhD project addresses the role of non-coding RNA in the cellular pathways underlying hepatitis C virus-induced pathogenesis.
