The Blader Laboratory at Virginia Tech is recruiting a postdoctoral associate to continue research on how infections in the brain lead to neuronal complications such as seizures. This project builds on prior findings from the laboratory showing that, in infected mice, the majority of inhibitory synapses are eliminated through phagocytosis. The postdoctoral researcher will investigate why inhibitory synapses are selectively removed and identify the neuronal and/or immunological cells and proteins...
