Our vision is to pioneer the development of novel therapeutic approaches from an understanding of age as the greatest risk factor for neurodegeneration and associated functional decline.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in neurodegenerative diseases, namely Alzheimer`s disease, and experience in the translational aspects of human pathophysiology with rodent model systems (in vivo/ex vivo) to enable deep insights into neuronal and other brain cell type pathobiology. As part of the Diseases of Aging and Regenerative medicine (DARe) disease area within Biomedical Research you will contribute to our global research efforts to elucidate and target the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases to develop pharmacological interventions for patients.
The role involves strong collaboration across the DARe In-vivo Physiology, In-vitro Biology and Data Science teams as well as collaborating with scientists from the Neuroscience disease area to drive our research goals.
