Epilepsy significantly impacts a patient's quality of life, leading to constant fear of the next seizure. For patients who do not achieve seizure freedom under medication, brain surgery can offer a chance at seizure freedom and a normal life. Epileptogenic tissue is characterized by high frequency oscillatory (HFOs) activity and intra-operative recording of HFOs guides neurosurgeons during tissue resection. However, the use of HFOs as biomarkers is not universally accepted yet, partly because its underlying neurobiology is neither clear nor validated. In the current project we aim to unravel this.

As a research assistant, we would supply you with the resected brain tissue. In this resected tissue you would (after training) analyze the occurrence of HFOs using an electrode grid (high density Multi Electrode array. Moreover, you would analyze these neurophysiological data, as well as data that were previously obtained from the brain during epilepsy surgery (intra-operative EEG). You would also perform recordings in new model systems for the human (epileptic) brain, using organoid systems.

In consultation with the project coordinators, there is a certain flexibility to determine the exact hours per week and the timing of your work (though on average it will be a part-time 0.6 fte position). This will always be based on the agreed-upon number of hours per month and the desired tasks/priorities.

Hier ga je werken

This research project is a collaboration between the Epilab research group – part of the Department of Neurology & Neurosurgery (prof. dr. Maeike Zijlmans, technisch geneeskundige assist dr. Maryse van 't Klooster) and the Department of Translational Neuroscience (dr. Frank Meye, dr. Christiaan Huffels). The functional epilepsy and epilepsy surgery department has a strong track record of leading research in invasive EEG recordings and epilepsy surgery. The Department of Translational Neuroscience offers state-of-the-art facilities and expertise, including the MIND facility for iPSC technology and brain organoids. You will be embedded within the two diverse, young, and friendly research groups, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of doctors, scientists, lab technicians, and patients themselves. Besides work, there is also a focus on a positive atmosphere in the workplace and social activities.
