I am a postdoc in the group of Maartje Huijbers at the Human Genetics department of the LUMC. We focus on the IgG4-mediated autoimmune disease MuSK myasthenia gravis and my goal is to figure out what makes IgG4 B cells stand out from the others and why these cells react to MuSK in the first place. To this end, I want to employ single cell RNA sequencing of B cells in an isotype- and antigen-specific manner to gain insight in their transcriptome. This will help us understand how these cells come to be and how we can target them therapeutically.
