Position Summary

The Cruchaga lab at WashU Medicine is recruiting multiple Postdoctoral Research Associates.

The Cruchaga lab generates and analyzes highthroughput multiomic data to study neurodegeneration and diseases of the central nervous system with emphasis on Alzheimers disease Parkinsons disease and other dementias. The ultimate goal of the lab is to understand the biology of these diseases to define novel biomarkers and to identify novel therapeutical targets. We have pioneered in the integration of genetics with omic data to identify proteomic signatures and develop novel predictive models for Alzheimers Parkinson and Dystonia as well as to identify novel proteins and pathways implicated on disease pathogenesis. We are currently analyzing brain CSF and blood multiomic data (transcriptomics proteomics and metabolomics) from a large collection of wellcharacterized samples to identify novel biomarker and causal and druggable targets.

We are seeking a motivated researcher with strong analytical skills to join our effort and generate novel insights of neurodegeneration with this unique dataset while working in a highly dynamic multidisciplinary and collaborative environment. Will join a large team currently twenty members which is led by three faculty members and three senior scientists. Our current research projects include the analyses of: Plasma CSF and Brain Proteomic and metabolomics analysis; Biomarker identification through the use of machine learning approaches; and Multiomics data integration with genomics transcriptomics and methylomics data.
