Research Fellow

We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Rajani Lab as part of the new national BHF-UK DRI Centre for Vascular Dementia Research. We use a range of innovative methodologies and models to understand oligodendrocyte changes in vascular and Alzheimer’s dementias, and the interaction of these with other cell types. In this project, funded as part of the UK DRI’s Key Questions programme, the Research Fellow will use iPSC-derived oligodendrocytes to understand the role of genes identified as being epigenetically altered in Alzheimer’s disease and ageing. The Research Fellow will further investigate how these affect oligodendrocyte interactions with neurons and microglia.
