Download full description of the offer

We seek researchers interested by the basic processes that regulate the biology of cells, and how their dysfunction leads to human diseases in developing, adult, and aging organisms. Projects developing innovative methods, including biophysics, quantitative biology, advanced in vivo imaging and relevant ‘omic’ approaches will be considered with particular interest.

MeLis is embedded in a stimulating scientific environment, which includes research institutes focusing on genetics, development, cancer and neuroscience, and has strong connections with the clinical/hospital community in Lyon.
