PhD student - Traumatic Brain Injury Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in Netherlands

This PhD project investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms that connect repetitive mild traumatic brain injury to long-term hippocampal dysfunction, memory decline, and dementia-related neurodegeneration. The research focuses on how repeated head impacts alter the fate of resident neural stem cells in the hippocampus, including neurogenesis, astrogliogenesis, reactive astrogliosis, inflammatory signaling, and microglial activation, and how these changes may contribute to persistent cogn...

PhD position at the University of Amsterdam on the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving traumatic brain injury (TBI)-associated dementia . The project focuses on repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI), long-term neuroinflammation, hippocampal dysfunction, memory decline, neurogenesis, astrogliogenesis, microglia activation, and conserved transcriptional programs in mouse and human hippocampus. The position is embedded in a collaboration between the Fitzsimons lab at the Swammerdam I...

Postdoctoral Fellow in Long-Read Transcriptomics and Multi-Omics of Neurodegeneration at the Translational Neurogenetics Unit, Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (CARD), National Institute on Aging, NIH (Bethesda, MD and surrounding area). This postdoctoral opening is centered on neuroscience , RNA biology , genetics and genomics , computational biology , and proteomics . The group, led by Dr. Kimberley Billingsley , studies how genetic risk contributes to molecular changes in ...

Two PhD candidates are being recruited for a collaborative neuroscience project on repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) and its role in long-term memory decline and dementia. The project is titled “From injury to decline: understanding cellular mechanisms driving traumatic brain injury-associated dementia” and is a joint effort between Carlos P. Fitzsimons at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, University of Amsterdam and Evgenia Salta at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscie...

Amsterdam UMC is offering a PhD position in spatial proteomics focused on frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The project aims to uncover the molecular and cellular causes of FTD that drive disease onset and early progression, with the long-term goal of supporting evidence-based treatment design. In this PhD project, you will design and execute proteomics studies using human postmortem brain tissue from sporadic FTD patients and human iPSC-derived neurons. The research combines highly innovative sing...
