The International Phd Scholarship research section of the department of medical genetics (www.umcutrecht.nl / genetics) focuses on identifying and understanding the genetic basis of human disease. There are several groups of researchers studying different illnesses such as schizophrenia, diabetes, congenital malformations and cardiovascular disorders. In our group, we use the next-generation sequencing state-of-the-art (NGS) technology. We were the first in Europe to apply the technology NGS SOLID AB, which now reads tens of billions of base pairs in a single run. The International Phd Scholarship range of capacity and application of technology NGS is still developing rapidly enable affordable human genome sequence is complete in the near future. Research in our group focuses on three aspects. i) The establishment, improvement and scale of the NGS application. This is done in close collaboration with a branch of our research group located at the Hubrecht Institute. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
