Your job

Do you want to help find out what is really going on in Alzheimer's disease? Why does the disease sweep through the brain in such a determined manner? Why do amyloid aggregates form in certain brain regions and not others? Why are some brain regions devastated and others spared?

In our previous work, we have identified a new mode of amyloid interactions based on local sequence similarity to aggregation-prone regions and the National Institute on Aging has just granted us a 5-year project to investigate the interaction of amyloid-beta and tau with other brain region-specific

The project entails:

  • a genome-wide computational screen for specific (heterotypic) interactions between the aggregation-prone regions of amyloid-forming proteins and the background proteome
  • testing the candidate proteins in cellular models and then in mice
  • biophysical analyses to discern the exact mechanism by which heterotypic interactions change amyloid

We re looking for a postdoc to join a growing team to take this project to
