PhD in Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology on APOE-Directed Liver–Brain Axis Communication and Neurodegenerative Disease Stockholm University in Sweden

Stockholm University is advertising a PhD student position in Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in Stockholm, Sweden. The project, titled “Multiplex chromatin technologies to understand human brain development” , focuses on developing new multiplex chromatin mapping technologies and applying them to study the gene regulatory principles that shape human brain development. The work combines single-cell epigenomics , chromatin biology , neur...

Postdoctoral opportunity in Toronto at the University of Toronto in the area of biochemistry and neurodegenerative diseases . Professor Gabor G. Kovacs is recruiting a motivated postdoctoral fellow or a PhD candidate nearing completion to join his team for a 6–12 month project starting as soon as possible. The project will involve detailed biochemical characterization across a broad range of neurodegenerative diseases, with the chance to learn and apply specialized methods in a collaborative tra...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on programmed axon death , SARM1 , NMNAT2 , and protein design . The project focuses on understanding the mechanism of programmed axon death, an intrinsic axonal death pathway implicated in neurodegenerative disease and injury. The work will use rational protein design to create variant forms of SARM1 or hybrid reporter constructs to study activation, stability, enzyme activity, and post-translational modi...

PhD opportunity in astrocyte biology and molecular neuroscience at Cardiff University This funded PhD project, titled Silent Architects: Uncovering How Astrocytes Shape Brain Health , is based at Cardiff University, Cardiff School of Medicine, in the United Kingdom. The project investigates how astrocytes regulate brain function, including neuronal activity, metabolism, extracellular matrix organisation, and resilience to disease. The research will focus on novel astrocyte-enriched genes and sig...

Postdoc opening in lipidomics at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, University of Copenhagen , focused on developing analytical methods to identify and quantify gangliosides , glucosylsphingosine , and related lipids, and applying them to Parkinson’s disease research. The project is anchored in the Galvagnion group and carried out in collaboration with the Lipidomics Core Facility at the Danish Cancer Institute . The research uses LC-MS and mass spectrometry-based lipid analysis to ...
