Description:

Our skin cells, liver cells, and blood cells all contain the same genetic information. Yet these are different types of cells, each performing their own specific tasks. How is this possible? The explanation lies in the epigenome: a heritable, cell-type specific set of chromosomal modifications, which determines cell identity and regulates gene expression. Radboud University is world-leading in studying the epigenome and proudly offers the only Dutch Master’s specialisation on this topic.

Medical Epigenomics: Something for you?

  • Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS) is world-leading in studying the epigenome.
  • We offer state-of-the-art technologies with downstream bioinformatics analyses in one department, which is unique in Europe.
  • We have close contacts with high-profile medical groups on our campus and with international institutes.
  • Do your internship in one of our large epigenetics projects, including projects on leukaemia, skin development, pluripotency, embryonic development, malaria and organoids.

What will you learn?

In this specialisation, you’ll look at a cell as one big and complex system. You’ll study epigenetic mechanisms during development and disease from different angles. This includes studying DNA and RNA by next-generation sequencing (epigenomics) and analysing proteins by mass spectrometry (proteomics). In addition, you‘ll be trained to design computational strategies that allow the integration of these multifaceted, high-throughput data sets into one system. You will learn how to work with state-of-the art technology in combination with biological software tools to study complete networks in cells in an unbiased manner.
