Summary

The postdosctoral associate will be working in a project to investigate the roles of SERPIN proteins in neurodegeneration and more especifically on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease. Postdoc will work with Drosophila models of these disorders using genetic, statistical, biochemical and other molecular approaches. This will require working with robots, computers, especiallyzed software and stereomicroscopes in addition to the genetic and molecular biology benches.
