Glycosphingolipid Dysregulation in Congenital Disorders of Glycysolation (CDG)

The project is embedded within the department of development and regeneration KU Leuven and the Laboratory of Applies Mass Spectrometry Metabolomics expertise center.
The candidate will collaborate closely with experts in clinical genetics, metabolomics, lipidomics, glycobiology and systems biology.

The research environment provides:

- Access to unique international collections of CDG patient samples

- State-of-the-art mass spectrometry infrastructure

- Advanced multi-omics platforms

- Extensive international collaborations

- Opportunities for conference participation and international training

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) comprise more than 200 individually rare inherited metabolic disorders and represent one of the most rapidly expanding groups of inborn errors of metabolism. While abnormalities of protein glycosylation have traditionally been considered the primary disease ...
