Full Job Description
Job Description
The candidate is expected to perform study design and execution to investigate Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis and explore drug development. Primary human neuronal culture from induced pluripotent stem cells, transgenic rodent models, and human clinical samples (blood and postmortem brain tissue) will be utilized for biochemical analysis using advance analytic instruments. Large data set is expected to be generated and analyzed including gene expression and proteomic profiles.
Required Skills
A PhD level scientist with postdoctoral research experience in biochemical and cellular biology of disease pathogenesis is required. Prior experience in mass spectrometry-based analytic work is preferred. Please email CV to Weiming Xia, PhD, Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Boston University School of Medicine ([redacted]).
