Type of contract CDD
Location Paris, France
Statut Available
Key Words neurogenetic, Huntington disease, neuroscience
Details of the offer
Place of work: Brain institute / Institut du Cerveau
Missions:
Alexandra Durr and Sandrine Humbert’s team focus on neurogenetic diseases, spinocerebellar degenerations (spastic paraplegias and cerebellar ataxias) and Huntington disease. These rare conditions share a late onset even though the mutant genes are expressed since conception and are critical for brain development. Our team showed that brain development is altered in Huntington disease, one of this rare inherited disease, and that these alterations contribute to the late onset.
Aim: identifying the underlying mechanism of the cellular and circuits defects in the cerebellar ataxia and Huntington disease developing brain and how these disturbances will impact the aging brain decades later.
Qualifications:
We are seeking a highly motivated scientist. Experience in cellular and mouse biology is required.
Additional knowledge in gene expression profiling (analysis of single nuclei RNA sequencing), cortical development and neurological disorders would be a plus.
