Using a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to explore the role of the skin microbiome for maintaining skin health, being far more than the sheer absence of disease.

- Analyze large data sets and multi-omics data
- Identify extrinsic and intrinsic key drivers and principles (organisms, proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites, etc.)
- Evaluate the feasibility to use such drivers and principles as cosmetic treatment
- Present, discuss and defend data to stake holders
Your Profile
- Master’s degree in Microbiology, Systems Biology, Immunology, Cell Biology, Life Sciences or in an aligned field
- Experiences in multi-omics approaches (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) and their analysis
