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
Host4Hypnozoites
Hypnozoites are dormant malaria parasites in the liver that can reactivate without a mosquito bite. This project aims to understand their dormant state and reactivation, and to develop new imaging and therapeutic strategies.
Stochasticity
Research into the molecular regulation of early embryonal development
Genetic Plasticity
This project aims to improve the chances of successful pregnancy upon IVF by discovering how chromosomal abnormalities affect early embryonal development.
