Develop RNA-based therapeutics for neurodegenerative disease in the Non-coding Genomics research unit led by Stefano Gustincich. The work combines genomic analysis to identify pharmacological targets with proof-of-concept experiments for RNA medicines. This is a 12-month collaboration contract based in Aosta. The advertised annual gross salary range is EUR 35,000–40,000.
Lead experimental studies that identify and validate targets for neurodegenerative disease. Design rodent experiments, analyse human and animal brain tissue, and develop quantitative measures of protein aggregation, inflammation, cell loss and vascular integrity. Collaborate with pharmacology, histology, molecular biology and computational teams to turn mechanistic findings into programme decisions. The employer’s current vacancy accepts applications without a stated fixed deadline.
