The post-doctoral fellow will work on the NavMutPredict project which aims to predict the pathogenicity of genetic variations in human sodium channels. The post-doctoral fellow will be responsible for designing a program that integrates all knowledge on this protein family and makes predictions based on this information that will be experimentally validated by our collaborators in this project, the Ion Channel Research Group of the University of Bern. 

Profile requirements
Expertise required:
