PhD: studying neurodegeneration using iPSC and xenotransplantation models
Offer DescriptionParkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy belong to a broader family of brain disorders characterized by glial and neurodegenerative pathologies. The exact etiology of these diseases remains unclear, but recent studies suggest that oligodendroglial cells may be early contributors to the disease process of these brain disorders.As a PhD student, you will be responsible for developing innovative oligodendroglial humanized cell and animal models. You will work with human induced pluripotent stem cells, which will be further transplanted into mouse models via xenotransplantation. This approach will enable the study of the role of human cells in Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy.This project offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research on the causes and treatments of neurodegenerative disorders, while developing your own skills and expertise in a stimulating research environment.Keywords: Neurodegeneration, human pluripotent stem cells, xenotransplantation, alpha-synuclein, animal models, multiple system atrophy, Parkinson’s diseaseRequirementsResearch Field Biological sciences Education Level Master Degree or equivalentLanguages ENGLISH Level ExcellentResearch Field Biological sciences Years of Research Experience 1 – 4Additional InformationBenefits
