Job Description Summary
Seeking highly motivated individuals for postdoctoral positions in neuroimmunology for projects that encompasses basic and translational research.Work in the laboratory is centered around the complement system and neuroinflammatory mechanisms. Ongoing projects involve investigating acute and chronic neuroimmune responses occurring after stroke or after different types of traumatic brain injury including the longterm neurodegenerative sequalae of injury. For example one project is focused on traumatic brain injury as a risk factor for Alzheimers Disease. Another project investigates pathogenic mechanisms of postnatal hemorrhagic stroke and neurodevelopmental consequences. Studies utilize various mouse models and the laboratory is also developing several novel transgenic animals for these studies. Techniques currently utilized include advanced microscopy cellular and molecular immune profile analysis high dimensional analyses and detailed assessments of motor and cognitive functions. The laboratory is also involved in the development (and commercialization) of novel therapeutic approaches and has been a leader in the development of novel targeted complement inhibitory strategies.
