About the LCSB
The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.
As a cutting-edge research centre, we are at the forefront of Systems Biology and Biomedicine.
Our researchers conduct innovative projects to investigate neurodegenerative processes and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries.
Your role
You will join our team in the recently established Chemical and Molecular Neurobiology group led by Associate Prof. Ivana Nikić-Spiegel.
Our research combines advanced approaches in protein engineering, microscopy, and chemical biology to investigate neuroimmune interactions and mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration.
We focus on understanding how axons maintain their structure and function, and how these processes break down in disease.
You will have the opportunity to contribute to one of our ongoing projects addressing questions such as:
* What roles do ion channels, cytoskeletal dynamics, and axonal transport play during axonal injury and neurological diseases?
* How can minimally invasive, bioorthogonal click chemistry-based labeling strategies be further developed and optimized for live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and cell-specific proteomics?
* How do neurons, glial cells, and immune cells communicate, and how can chemical biology help us address these interactions in health and disease?
* What molecular mechanisms drive neuroinflammation and axonal damage in multiple sclerosis?
