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.
Research groups
RIMLS is home to 14 research groups or labs, each equipped with its own state-of-the-art sequencing, proteomics, and dedicated bioinformatics expertise for deep data analysis. Below you see the list of all group leaders and their respective research groups.
Projects
iCorneaTherapy
The interdisciplinary iCorneaTherapy project aims to characterize a promising stem cell technology. This constitutes a major step towards the commercialization of a viable stem cell product for corneal transplantation.
seXY blastoids: Developing female and male human blastoids to study sex specific early embryogenesis
In this project, the research team aims to systematically understand differences between female and male early embryogenesis by the use of blastoids, embryo-like structures derived from stem cells.
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.
