Scientist Seeking to Unravel Aging Mechanisms
About the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine
The University of Luxembourg is a renowned international research institution with a unique, multilingual environment.
We are an interdisciplinary research centre conducting fundamental and translational research in Systems Biology and Biomedicine - in the lab, in the clinic, and in silico. Our focus lies in neurodegenerative processes, particularly Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and their contributing factors. We attract talented scientists from various disciplines: computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists, and clinicians from more than 50 countries currently work at our centre. We excel because we are truly interdisciplinary, and together we contribute to science and society.
Job Description
The Developmental and Cellular Biology Group at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine employs human stem cells for in vitro modelling of neurodegeneration diseases. Projects in the lab are at the interface of systems biology and biomedical research. Specifically, we aim to develop novel, complex in vitro organoid and assembloid models for the human brain. Our primary disease model is Parkinson's disease.
In this project, we are seeking a postdoctoral researcher who is interested in the role of aged microglia in Parkinson's Disease.
