Fully Funded PhD in Autophagy and Retinal Degeneration at University of Fribourg University of Fribourg in Switzerland

PhD opportunity in the MSCA Doctoral Network PANDORA at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. The project is focused on autophagy and retinal degeneration , with specific emphasis on mitophagy , lysophagy , and disease mechanisms studied through advanced cellular and iPSC-based models . This is an international doctoral network position connected to the University of Fribourg and the team of Patricia Boya. The post is aimed at a motivated PhD candidate interested in fundamental and translatio...

PhD position in the EU Doctoral Network PANDORA at the Institute for Ophthalmic Research, University of Tübingen, Germany . The project focuses on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) , with emphasis on factor H-related proteins (FHRs) , extracellular matrix (ECM) stability, endothelial cell homeostasis, choroidal endothelial cells, retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, complement biology, retinal degeneration, and translational biomedical research. The successful candidate will build recomb...

Stanford University’s Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is advertising an open postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Michael S. Kapiloff, MD, PhD, in the Departments of Ophthalmology and Medicine. The project focuses on astrocyte signal transduction, with emphasis on cAMP-regulated signaling, astrocyte neurotoxic and neuroprotective phenotypes, retinal ganglion cell injury, glaucoma, and retinal disease. The lab applies mouse models of retinal ganglion cell injury and mouse eye research to stu...

Carl Laflamme, Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa, is recruiting a master’s or PhD student for a new lab project on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The research builds on a recent resource paper that identified high-quality antibodies for most proteins associated with ALS, with the goal of using those tools to investigate the biology of understudied ALS proteins. The selected student will work with cell biology, molecular biology, microscopy, and iPSC-based models. This is a st...

PhD opportunity: Lysosomal TMEM106B in brain ageing and disease at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom. This project with Dr Diana Arseni explores how the lysosomal protein TMEM106B forms amyloids in the brain in an age-dependent manner and how TMEM106B genetic variants may influence healthy ageing and disease risk in frontotemporal lobar degeneration and Alzheimer’s disease . The research is centered on lysosomal biology , brain a...
