THERAPEUTICS AND INNOVATION IN NEUROPEDIATRICS AND OTHER

PAEDIATRIC RARE DISEASES (TIN-RD) GROUP
VHIR offers a position for a Postdoctoral researcher within the Laboratory of Therapeutics and Innovation in
Pediatric Neurology.

The group promotes the implementation of advanced therapies and innovative therapies of high technological
complexity in pediatric rare diseases, specifically in Neurological ultra-rare diseases that impact the motor
development of children and adolescents.

The main objectives of the group are:
(1) To improve precision genetic diagnosis, we perform systematic variant re-evaluation for the identification
of new genes and difficult-to-diagnose variants. We also promote the use of new genetic technologies for
the identification of point mutations and structural variants.

(2) To develop new biomarkers and clinical tools that allow the monitoring of neurological symptoms through
natural history studies and after specific therapies that modify the clinical outcome.

(3) To contribute to the development of gene therapies for specific rare diseases.
