About the LCSB
Our mission is to advance the field of neurodegenerative research.
The LCSB conducts fundamental and translational research in Systems Biology and Biomedicine, focusing on processes such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Join a dynamic interdisciplinary team at the Chemical and Molecular Neurobiology group, combining innovative approaches to investigate neuroimmune interactions and mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration.
We aim to understand how axons maintain their structure and function, and how these processes break down in disease. You will contribute to one of our ongoing projects addressing questions such as:
* Ion channel dynamics, cytoskeletal roles, and axonal transport during axonal injury and neurological diseases?
* Minimally invasive bioorthogonal click chemistry-based labeling strategies for live-cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and cell-specific proteomics?
* Neurons, glial cells, and immune cells communication and chemical biology addressing these interactions in health and disease?
* Molecular mechanisms driving neuroinflammation and axonal damage in multiple sclerosis?
You will have the opportunity to work with iPSC-derived cells, primary neuronal or glial cultures, or mouse models, and apply your skills in fluorescence microscopy, proteomics workflows, and computational methods.
Enjoy a dynamic environment with close ties to industry and society, excellent infrastructure, and opportunities for collaboration and professional growth.
As a member of our team, you will be part of a collaborative effort to make significant contributions to the scientific community.
