The
Marie-Sklodowska-Curie European Training Network Magicbullet-Reloaded
will develop and employ approaches for selective, targeted delivery of a
panel of anticancer drugs for directed tumor therapy. The ETN will
recruit 15 highly talented early stage researchers
(ESR) who will be involved in all stages of drug development, ranging
from Synthetic Chemistry over Medicinal Chemistry to Tumor Biology and
Assay Development in a highly cross-linked, inter-sectoral research
network between academia and industry. This network
warrants cutting-edge interdisciplinary education, supplemented by a
well-balanced and tailor-made training in transferable soft skills,
directly focussed on the demands and needs of each individual

An
exciting opportunity has been created for a Senior Postdoctoral
Scientist to join the interdisciplinary research programme studying
Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies in the Nuffield
Department of Clinical Neurosciences led by Associate Professor
Laura Parkkinen. The group focuses on elucidating biochemical and
genetic signatures in human brain and biosamples to assist with
understanding disease pathogenesis but also to provide diagnostic
biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease and dementia. These are much
needed to improve early diagnosis of PD and assessing the efficacy of
disease-modifying therapies in a biologically-targeted manner.
The
postholder will elucidate biochemical and genetic signatures in human
brain and biosamples to assist with understanding disease pathogenesis
but also to develop biomarkers
for Parkinson’s disease and dementia. They will also develop
alpha-synuclein seeding assay (RT-QulC) as an early predictive
biomarker, monitoring disease progression and stratifying between
different synucleinopathies and examine their toxicity and infectivity
in vitro.
The
postholder must hold a PhD in molecular neurosciences or in a field
directly relevant to translational neuroscience. They must have
substantial experience in protein chemistry,
cell culture, molecular genetics and neuropathology. Previously
demonstrated research acumen, a track record of successful
publication(s) and clear potential for future success is vital.
The
postholder is also expected to possess excellent skills in scientific
communication, both orally and in writing are expected and have a strong
drive to pursuing a career
in academia. Previous experience of working with human brain and
peripheral samples is highly desirable, including familiarity with basic
neuroanatomical concepts.
