University of Alberta Postdoctoral/Graduate Student Positions

The laboratory of Dr. Toshifumi Yokota invites applications for postdoctoral and graduate student positions in the Department of Medical Genetics at the University of Alberta. By utilizing integrative experimental and computational approaches, such as antisense oligonucleotides and CRISPR/Cas9, the focuses of our group are to develop novel molecular therapy for neuromuscular diseases and rare genetic diseases. Our group is actively collaborating with the world-class researchers and industry partners. The highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment of our research group provides unique career development opportunities for the postdoctoral trainees and graduate students. The program is run by Dr. Toshifumi Yokota, Assistant Professor and the Muscular Dystrophy Canada Research Chair. His laboratory is renowned internationally for its work on the development of exon skipping/antisense technology as well as the study on animal models. The CIHR Program will focus on adv!
ancing novel therapies for genetic diseases.

The representative publications of the PI for independent and collaborative research includes;
