Claringbould Research

We are a research group in the Department of Internal Medicine (Pharmacology, Vascular and Metabolic Diseases) at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, led by Annique Claringbould.

Our research focuses on understanding the changes in gene regulation and gene expression that underlie complex diseases. We combine population genomics, single-cell multiomics, and gene regulatory network approaches to uncover how genetic variants influence disease risk — with a particular focus on type 2 diabetes and familial hypercholesterolaemia.

We are currently setting up our research group and are excited to invite applications for master internships. If you are a highly motivated and hardworking student, we encourage you to get in touch. Collaboration is at the heart of our work, so we are looking for students with strong communication skills. We especially welcome candidates with a background in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, or molecular biology, and an interest in gene regulation, GWAS, lipid biology, or cardiovascular diseases.
