Main duties and responsibilities:
A well-functioning placenta is essential for the health of both the mother and offspring, but its influence on long-term maternal and child mental health outcomes is largely unknown. Pregnancy complications can be a sign of placental dysfunction; however, the placenta is arguably the least understood organ in the human body.
This project’s objective is to understand how genomic risk variants and transcripts linked with placenta biology and pregnancy complications are associated with altered neurodevelopment in offspring and maternal depression and how they mediate mental health outcome in the mother-child dyad.
The Ph D candidate is expected to learn and perform genomic and transcriptomic analyses, and to write at least 3 scientific papers for publication in peer-reviewed open access journals of high quality within the duration of the 3-year position.
