Project Manager - Cystic Kidney Disorders Unit
Pubblicato il 28-08-2026 - Ospedale San Raffaele in Milano
IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan, Italy, is looking for a Project Manager to join the Laboratory of Dr. Boletta, working on renal cystic disorders and cellular cilia. The unit is interested in understanding the morphogenetic mechanisms driving establishment and maintenance of renal tubular diameter in physiological conditions and that are deranged in pathologies such as cystic kidney disorders. This group uses as a prototype disease Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), a genetic disorder, due to mutations in two genes: PKD1 and PKD2, encoding for two membrane proteins Polycystin-1 and 2, respectively. The two proteins localize in cilia and ADPKD is a ciliopathy. The precise function of the two genes and proteins and the pathogenetic mechanism leading to cyst formation remain largely elusive.
