18-Month Postdoc: Autophagy & Metabolism in Neurodegeneration
Posted by Helsinki Innovation Services Ltd • Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland
About the Role
Postdoctoral Researchers - Autophagy and Metabolism
The McWilliams Lab investigates physiological autophagy, a membrane-driven lysosomal degradation pathway essential for cell, circuit and tissue homeostasis. Impairments in autophagy and lysosomal function are causally linked to neurodegeneration and age-related pathology. We use integrative multiscale approaches to define the mechanistic interplay between autophagy and metabolism and determine how this relationship impacts neural integrity in health and disease. Our ultimate goal is to identify new therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.
