Job Description
The CNIC has been conceived to develop research of excellence, competitive and of international relevance in relation to cardiovascular diseases. The CNIC has a research center of 24,000 m2, located in Madrid, with more than 6,000 m2 for laboratories equipped with a state-of-the-art infrastructure and equipment.
A full time Graduate Technician position is available to work in the Inherited Cardiomyopathies Group led by Dr. Juan Antonio Bernal Rodríguez.
This group has developed an alternative method that uses adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors, widely used for gene-therapy approaches, to express disease-causing dominant-negative mutants to generate disease models in wild-type mice. Their funding demonstrates that AAV-Transfer methodology has the potential to make valuable contributions to the specific understanding of cardiovascular diseases in general and inheritable cardiac arrhythmias in particular.
