Summary
The Postdoc will join a dynamic research team investigating neurodegenerative diseases that includes Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The research will leverage genomic / multi-omic data from human subjects and experimental models, that includes cell culture, mice, and fruit flies. The lab is pursing studies to identify novel genetic drivers and disease biomarkers. A major current area of interest includes lysosomal metabolism and lipid biomarkers for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The most promising genetic/molecular pathways are also being experimentally pursued using cross-species approaches, giving the power to reciprocally translate findings between multiple complementary experimental platforms along with human genetic and clinical data.
