Post-docs & researchers

A 2-year postdoctoral position is available in our lab to study the role and therapeutic potential of genes that are strongly associated with neuronal age-acceleration or with anti-aging neurocompensatory mechanisms in repeat expansion disorders such as Huntington?s disease.

The research will be conducted within the Mechanisms of Adaptive Processes in Brain Circuits group at IINS, part of the Bordeaux Neurocampus.

The recruited person will join the project on the release of hormones, neuropeptides, and neurotransmitters by exocytosis, which is mediated by a vesicular fusion process whose mechanisms are well established.

Analysis of mechanotransduction mediated by the periodic axonal cytoskeleton: Application of different treatments on neurons (drugs that disrupt different transduction pathways, protein depletion) and analysis of the impact on the nanoscopic organisation of the axonal cytoskeleton before and after mechanical stimulation, mainly using super-resolution imaging.
