LAB OVERVIEW - Dr. Lisa Ellerby's laboratory at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging investigates the molecularmechanisms underlying age-related neurodegenerative diseases and develops novel small molecule and protein therapeutics for brain aging. We employ a rich toolkit including i. PSC-derived neurons and organoids, CRISPR/ Cas 9, single-cell analysis, proteomics, genomics, and phenotypic screening to understand why neurological diseases increase so dramatically with age and to identify new ways to prevent and treat them. POSITION SUMMARY - We are seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to lead a high-throughput screening (HTS) program focused on brain aging and neurodegeneration. This is an exciting opportunity to drive discovery at the intersection of chemical biology, i. PSC-based disease modeling, and advanced high-content imaging with a specific focus on OXR 1 and APOE 2 biology. The successful candidate will develop and execute screens to identify small molecules t...Research, Doctor, Postdoctoral, Neuro, Painting, Biology, Education
