Job Description
Details of Research Project:
The Post Doc Fellow will work on pilot studies investigating how CGRP-expressing trigeminal sensory neurons communicate with immune cells in the meninges. They will use genetic models to stimulate or inhibit the CGRP-expressing trigeminal sensory neurons to perform gain and loss of function studies. They will also use reporter mice to trace nerve fibers of these neurons in young and aged mice to see if aging impacts the structure and function of these neurons and its impact on neuroimmune crosstalk in the meninges.
