You will join an exciting research program of “Epigenetic disturbances contribute to the etiology of Preeclampsia (PE)”.
Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe cardiovascular disease, affecting ~8% of human pregnancies. PE is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. Deregulation of imprinted genes, endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), and non-coding RNA contributes to an abnormal transcriptome, resulting in aberrant placentation. The project aims at deciphering how epigenetic abnormalities disturb a proper cross-talk between maternal and foetal in PE.
Check website of the laboratory of Mobile DNA www.mdc-berlin.de/1153597for recent publications and for running projects in the lab.
