Details
Title HMS - Postdoctoral Fellow in Genetics
School Harvard Medical School
Department/Area HMS Genetics
Position Description
The laboratory of Dr. Yankner at Harvard Medical School is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to investigate the molecular genetics and neurobiology underlying microglial and oligodendrocyte function in the context of aging, neurodegeneration, and Alzheimer’s disease. The successful candidate will join a dynamic and collaborative research environment focused on uncovering the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving cognitive decline and neurodegenerative processes.
Responsibilities:
+ Conduct biochemical, genetic, and transcriptomic analyses of key regulators of brain aging using mouse and cerebral organoid models.
+ Design and perform experiments to study the roles of microglia and oligodendrocytes in
+ neurodegeneration and cognitive function...
