Two positions for talented and highly motivated post-doctoral researchers are available within the scientific team “Mitochondria and Inflammation in Neurodegeneration” led by Michela Deleidi at the DZNE Tübingen. We are interested in the immunological basis of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly focusing on Parkinson's disease. The positions are funded by the Aligning Science Across Parkinson's: ASAP foundation. This will be a collaborative project (UK, France, Italy, and Germany) aimed at clarifying the role of the microbiome in Parkinson’s disease and providing insight into a potential treatment window. The successful applicant will work in a highly stimulating environment to pursue an exciting visionary cross-disciplinary project aimed at unraveling neuro-immune interactions in Parkinson's disease by means of patient stem cell-derived organoids. The study at our site will involve wide range of techniques including stem cell culture, microglia differentiation, organoid generation, and single-cell-RNA sequencing.
