The center is established in collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm County Council aiming at improving generating high-end basic research, clinical practice, and spread new knowledge to stakeholders.
Research Group
The research group led by Assistant Professor Kristiina Tammimies focuses on understanding genetic and biological factors associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as autism spectrum disorder. We perform high-resolution genetic analyses in different NDD cohorts and following up the findings using bioinformatics approaches and cellular models. We are conducting translational research by combining data from neuropsychology, neuropathology, and environmental factors with the genetic data to understand the biological mechanisms leading to NDDs. The research group is located in BioClinicum, the new Karolinska University Hospital research building, and shares a lab floor with other research groups from the women/children/genetics theme.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our international team with a focus on understanding disrupted molecular pathways in NDDs. The successful candidate will have the possibility to do both laboratory and bioinformatic projects during the postdoctoral training period.
