Description of the research topic:
A significant proportion of rare neurological diseases are associated with hereditary genetic abnormalities. Over the past decade, a remarkable progress has been made in mapping these diseases by using new genome-wide biotechnological methods. However, in clinical practice, there are still many patients and families whose molecular pathologies remain unexplored. Taking advantage of ongoing genomic and bioinformatic developments at the Szentagothai Research Center, University of Pécs, we would like to work up neurological diseases that may be associated with DNA mutations. These studies will include clinical and para-clinical characterization of phenotypes and laboratory exploration of genotypes by a collaborating team of neurologists, geneticists, molecular geneticists and bioinformaticians. As part of this team, the PhD student will help coordinating the clinical examination of and sample collection from patients and their family members, participate in some of the laboratory procedures and the analyses of results. Overall, this program aims not only to provide a scientific degree, but also to train a physician-scientist who should be able to promote molecular medicine.
