Research Assistant UCL
About the job.
Dementia is the greatest health challenge of our century.
To date there is no way to prevent it or even slow its progression, and there is an urgent need to fill the knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause it.
The UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) is the biggest UK initiative supporting research to fill the major knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause dementia.
The De Strooper/Arancibia Lab focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative disease, with a particular interest in the cellular phase of Alzheimer’s disease, the neuro-immune axis and single cell genomics.
Bart De Strooper’s lab is divided between Leuven, Belgium and the Francis Crick institute in London, embedded in both vibrant research communities with extensive access to state-of-the-art support, infrastructure, and collaborations.
We are looking for a Research Assistant interested in the cell biology of late onset Alzheimer’s Disease to join the lab as part of an ongoing research effort to understand the role of AD risk genes in modifying cellular responses in disease.
While the formation of extracellular Aβ plaques and intracellular tau tangles are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease we still do not understand how aggregates of these protein form, how amyloid plaques induce tau pathology, and how their formation is related to synaptic dysfunction and cell death. A recent breakthrough in the laboratory (Balusu et al., Science 2023, PMID 37708272) has linked the major pathology in one pathway. You will work on a project to model this pathway in a cell culture model of the disease and to use this model for drug target and drug screening. This is an excellent opportunity to work on a high impact, state-of-the-art project in a stimulating and social international research environment, undertaking world-class science under the guidance of a leader in Alzheimer’s biology.
