Qualified postdoctoral candidates are invited to join the laboratory of Dr. Vassilis Koliatsos at the Division of Neuropathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine http://labs.pathology.jhu.edu/koliatsos.

Research focus in the Koliatsos Lab is molecular mechanisms of neural injury and repair, with current emphasis on axonal injury/degeneration and axonal protection using genetic editing and small-molecule strategies. Diseases of interest include traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative disorders.

Candidates with a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or M.D. or both) and strong background in cellular/molecular neuroscience, animal models of disease or experimental neuropathology are encouraged to apply. Experience with human stem cell manipulation, neuronal differentiation and related in vitro experiments is essential.
