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...
