Postdoc summary/title:– Postdoctoral Fellow in Pathology & Laboratory Medicine (Neurodegenerative Diseases)
The Dementia Laboratory, co-led by Drs. Bernardino Ghetti and Kathy L. Newell of the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Division of Neuropathology, has immediate full-time openings for one or more outstanding, highly motivated post-doctoral research fellows with special interest in molecular pathology of neurodegeneration related to aging as well as sporadic and genetically-determined dementias and motor neuron diseases. These include Alzheimer’s Disease, Frontotemporal Dementias, Parkinson’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Prion Diseases. The faculty of the laboratory are well funded including having been awarded several NIA and NINDS grants, which involve local, national and international collaborations with leading scientists. Research data is published in high impact factor and high quality journals.
This fellowship, provides the opportunity to develop and expand knowledge in the neuropathology of human neurodegenerative diseases using light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, immunoelectron microscopy, fluorescent multiplex immunohistochemistry, digital spatial profiling, quantitative digital image analysis, and cryo electron microscopy. Additionally, fellows have the opportunity to participate in and develop multidisciplinary projects integrating neuropathology with cutting-edge brain imaging, clinical neurology, protein chemistry, and molecular genetics as well as communicate and collaborate with leading researchers from around the world. Fellows may focus on one or more misfolded proteins and acquire an understanding of co-pathologies of amyloids simultaneously involving a single anatomical system.
The Dementia Laboratory’s focus is on the molecular neuropathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Our aims are to expand our knowledge of the mechanisms of neurodegeneration. Neurodegenerative diseases may first affect language, cognition, motor systems, and emotions. It is necessary to identify the anatomical areas and systems primarily affected. Specifically, we strive to understand the earliest stages of intracellular alterations in the anatomical areas whose function appears to be involved in the earliest clinical symptoms. From there, we follow the progression and spread of the neurodegenerative process to anatomical areas that are synaptically connected to the regions primarily affected. Our efforts help to clarify the architecture of the neurodegenerative process. Neuropathology, biochemistry and molecular genetics aid in elucidating the stages of neurodegeneration in individual anatomical areas through the analysis of diseases studied postmortem on individuals who were at different stages of the disease process at the time of their passing.
