Graduate Studentship

We are looking for highly motivated candidates to explore the role of C9ORF72 in neurodegeneration associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a motor neuron disease characterised by progressive injury and death motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Recent reports suggest that C9ORF72 hexanucleotide intronic repeat expansion cause ALS with high prevalence in both familial and sporadic cases. The C9ORF72 gene is located on chromosome 9p (9p21) and encodes twelve exons, with three transcription variants, and two possible protein isoforms, termed a and b. The normal expansion typically comprises a fewer than 30 of GGGGCC repeats. Pathogenic expansions consists of hundreds to thousands repeats. RNA foci are observed in fibroblasts and CNS of patients with C9ORF72 expansion, suggesting defects of RNA metabolism. Despite the significant progress in C9orf72 research, the exact function of the C9orf72 protein remains unclear. Thus, further research efforts aimed at better understanding the role of C9ORF72 protein are of the utmost importance to enable therapeutic development for ALS.

Graduate Studentship, Locker Lab

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) areneurodegenerative disorders (NDs) with proteostasis defects. They represent an ideal set of diseases covering >70% of patients to increase our understanding of the molecular basis of NDs. The associated pathologies are difficult to truly model and compare using animals because (i) they are mainly caused by sporadic forms of the diseases, and (ii) models do not recapitulate the basic cellular changes observed in patients. Our aim is to achieve a global understanding of RNA translation and stress granules regulation across these neurodegenerative diseases using novel genetically engineered isogenic human stem cell lines. This will identify key regulatory nodes, across diseases, revealing new points for therapeutic interventions.The PhD candidate will work as part of an EU/MRC-funded trans-national consortium that has developed control fibroblasts genetically engineered into disease cell lines (project grant MR/R02426X/1), allowing studies within identical genetic backgrounds. Following training with our project partners at McGill (Canada) and QMUL (UK), the control and disease-model iPSCs will be used to differentiate neuronal cell populations including forebrain cortical-like neurons, midbrain dopamine-like and glial astrocyte-like cells. Subsequently, the candidate will be trained in confocal microscopy techniques to detect and quantity stress granules in cells, measure translational activity globally and specifically at the mRNA level using ribosomes profiling.

Graduate Studentship, Sterneckert Lab

At TU Dresden the Junior Research Group of Dr. Jared Sterneckert, “iPS Cells and Neurodegenerative Disease” at the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD), an Institute of the Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering (CMCB), is calling for applications for a PhD scholarship.

Dr. Sterneckert’s group uses patient specific induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to generate models of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Using a combination of gene editing, proteomics, and small molecules, we aim at understanding the mechanism(s) of pathogenesis and identifying novel treatments. The aim of this project is to use iPS cell-derived neurons in combination with patient biosamples to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, particularly the role of exosomes.

Postdoctoral Fellow, Schmidt Lab

The Laboratory of Molecular Biology at The Rockefeller University is seeking a highly motivated and outstanding candidate for a postdoctoral position to study the selective vulnerability and degeneration of upper motor neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS presents a paradox in that most known disease-causing mutations are ubiquitously expressed, yet only discrete populations of cells degenerate. We therefore use a multidisciplinary approach, centered on advanced molecular profiling methods to elucidate cell type-specific phenotypes during disease progression in preclinical mouse models and postmortem human tissue. By contrasting vulnerable and resilient neuronal populations as well as non-neuronal cells, we hope to identify novel disease mechanisms and putative entry points for therapeutic intervention These studies are also integrated with modern anatomical and circuit-tracing methods and behavior to map the identity, connectivity, and function of neuronal cell types in cortical and motor circuits.
