About RIMLS
The Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS) is a leading research institute of the Faculty of Science that contributes to the research mission of the Radboud University Medical Centre (Radboudumc). RIMLS discovers and explores the molecular and cellular mechanisms of development and disease, is a hub of molecular systems biology expertise, and contributes to teaching activities at Radboud University.
Decipher molecular mechanisms of disease
The central research theme is regulation of gene expression during development and in health and disease, with special focus on research areas in epigenetics, stem-cell and developmental biology, and computational biology. This fundamental and applied research in medical biology and molecular life sciences has clear links to biochemical research performed at the Institute for Molecules and Materials and other institutes of the Faculty of Science, as well as to more clinically oriented research programmes at several departments within Radboudumc.
Our research groups are very internationally oriented and there is extensive collaboration and networking with international partners, often in projects funded by the EU and other international agencies.
Organisation
RIMLS is led by institute director Gert Jan Veenstra and managing director Marion Bussemakers. The institute consists of independent research groups organised in research departments, each headed by a department head:
- Michiel Vermeulen (Head of Molecular Biology)
- Jo Zhou (Head of Molecular Developmental Biology)
- Musa Mhlanga (Head of Cell Biology)
- Peter Tessarz (Head of Human Biology)
