The research aspects concern proteins involved in initiation of DNA replication, the localisation of DNA replication origins, and chromatin structure at replication origins. The model systems include Xenopus laevis and cell cultures. The Institute of Human Genetics is a large CNRS Institute located in Montpellier, one of the most lively and concentrated areas for research scientists in France.
Motivated applicants can be of any nationality.
They should have expertise in molecular biology and protein biochemistry. Experience with cellular imaging or in ES cells will be also appreciated. The Institute of Human Genetics is a large CNRS Institute located in Montpellier, one of the most lively and concentrated areas for research scientists in France. The chromatin organization and the plasticity of this organization are essential to development programs and the maintenance of differentiation. At each division, chromosomes should be duplicated and also maintain the memory of the specific transcription programs that have been previously established in the embryo.
