Research
Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS) focuses on epigenetics, stem-cell and developmental biology and computational biology. The central research theme is regulation of gene expression during development and in health and disease.
Departments
RIMLS is organised in 4 research departments, which all have their own state-of-the-art sequencing and proteomics facilities as well as a specialised bioinformatics team for in depth data analysis.
Projects
RNA Sequencing of the Neuromuscular Junction in FUS-associated ALS
The project's goal is to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie neuromuscular junction defects in ALS in order to identify potential therapeutic targets.
CorneaRegID
Current treatments for cornea damage depend on stem cells in the patient's own healthy eye. This project will develop a novel regenerative technology to convert patient's skin and mouth cells into cornea stem cells to restore vision.
