The Laboratory for the Research of Neurodegenerative Diseases headed by prof. Bart De Strooper is a vibrant environment where key issues related to Alzheimer s disease are tackled. We are currently looking for a highly skilled and motivated bioinformatician to join our multidisciplinary project on the cellular response to Alzheimer s pathology (De Strooper and Karran, Cell, 2016).
In this project, we will investigate why some people remain protected against Alzheimer s Disease despite the presence of amyloid plaques. Understanding why some people are resilient to Alzheimer s disease will help us to identify new drug targets. The candidate will integrate data from spatial transcriptomics, in situ sequencing, and single-cell RNAseq from multiple projects and models in the lab to prioritize targets for further drug discovery. The work will be performed in collaboration with our spin-off biotech company Muna Therapeutics, which develops first-in-class therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases.
