Une opportunité de doctorat au sein d'une équipe de recherche à Toulouse se concentre sur la régulation de la dosage génique liée au gène SOX3. Le candidat sera impliqué dans la manipulation génomique et l'analyse de systèmes de développement gonadal pour comprendre les mécanismes de renversement du sexe. Ce projet est financé par l'ERC et offre un environnement dynamique pour les chercheurs débutants.

The successful candidate will work on the ERC-funded REGULADOSIX project within the "Developmental Regulation of Gene Dosage" team led by Rafael Galupa, at the Centre de Biologie Intégrative (CBI, Toulouse). The team studies gene dosage regulation on the mammalian X chromosome. The recruited person will be supervised by the team leader.
Sex reversal in humans is a rare condition linked to infertility, with unclear molecular mechanisms. Most 46, XX male cases involve SRY translocations to the X chromosome, but some are SRY-negative and involve duplications of the X-linked gene SOX3. We aim to understand the molecular basis of SOX3-linked male reversal. Using genomic engineering technologies, we will create SOX3 duplications in human and mouse gonadal development systems and analyze their effects with transcriptomic and chromosome conformation capture methods. We will also test Sox3 manipulations in mutant mouse embryos to study sex reversal in vivo. Understanding SOX3-driven sex reversal could improve diagnosis, clinical management, and fertility treatments.
This PhD project is part of the ERC-funded REGULADOSIX initiative awarded to Rafael Galupa.
