Job description
As a PhD student at the Faculty of Health Sciences and a member of the Thrombosis Research Group (TREC), my research focuses on the role of small RNA molecules known as microRNAs in the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the prediction of future VTE risk. The overall aim is to contribute to improved prevention of VTE.
