Details of Research Project:
The postdoctoral fellow offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to NIHfunded projects delving into the intricate role of human myeloid cells encompassing peripheral monocytes/macrophages and CNS microglia in Parkinsons disease. Our endeavor is centered on unraveling immune cell gene network signatures associated with PD investigating how these phenotypes can be modulated to influence neurodegeneration and discerning the potential of a deeper understanding of the peripheral innate immune system in the development of therapeutics and peripheral biomarkers for neurodegenerative conditions. As part of our team you will have privileged access to a wealth of human biological clinical omics and genetics data sourced from Alzheimers disease patients enrolled in the Movement Disorders Clinic. Leveraging this invaluable resource we aim to conduct detailed profiling of innate immune cells at a singlecell resolution using genomic assays enabling us to decipher the functional implications of variations in neurodegenerative diseases. This position entails collaboration within a dynamic multidisciplinary research team comprising geneticists computational biologists immunologists neuroscientists and physicianscientists. You will be based at the Ronald M. Loeb Center for Alzheimers Disease and the Precision Immunology Institute both located within the prestigious Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Join us in our mission to advance understanding and treatment strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.
