Evaluating the effect of senescence in alpha-synuclein accumulation-induced neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in dopaminergic neurons
Doctoral study program. Neuroscience . Specialization. Neuroscience. Form. doctoral full-time,. Department. Centre of Translational Medicine, International Clinical Research Centre, FNUSA Brno, CZ . Read more
Exosome biogenesis and organelle trafficking in neurodegeneration.
Scientific summary. Intracellular transport pathways are fundamental for cell structure and function. Due to their longevity, complex morphology (long axonal and dendritic extensions) and requirement to maintain synaptic transmission, neurons are heavily dependent upon intracellular transport.

BBSRC MIBTP - Identification of pathways deregulating neuronal ELAV/Hu RNA binding proteins and alternative splicing in neurodegeneration
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions. Read more
The impact of gut microbiome and diet interplay on neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s disease represent major health risks of ageing societies. Read more
RNA biology in neurodegeneration (Berlin, Germany)
We are currently seeking a highly motivated individual to join our team in investigating the role of RNA metabolism in motor neuron disorders (MNDs). Read more
Applied optogenetics to study the influence of neuronal activity on neurodegeneration
Optogenetic approaches use genetically encoded, light-inducible proteins that can be expressed in specific tissues and cell types (e.g. Read more
Neurodegeneration-associated protein TAU: Novel regulation during the DNA damage response and links to p53.
Tau is a protein that regulates microtubule stability and dynamics and is involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease - which is the most prevalent form of Dementia. Read more
Ion channel regulation in models of neurodegeneration
Ion channels are important regulators of cellular physiology. There is now growing awareness that these proteins are invovled in pathological states, with relation to neurodegeneration voltage-gated potassium and voltage-gated calicum channels have been implicated. Read more
MSc by Research: Investigation of mitochondrial biology and neurodegeneration
Phosphorylation and ubiquitylation are reversible signalling events and there is significant interest in in their interplay in the regulation of normal biological processes and disruption in human diseases. Read more
Long non-coding RNA NEAT1 isoforms in the regulation of cellular glucose metabolism downstream TDP-43 dysfunction in ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease caused by motor neuron loss that currently has no cure or a disease-modifying treatment. Read more
Dynamic aquaporin-4 subcellular relocalisation in regulating brain fluid homeostasis
Aquaporins facilitate passive, bidirectional water transport in all cells and tissues. In the brain and spinal cord, aquaporin-4 facilitates the exchange of water across the blood-spinal cord and blood-brain barriers, controlling cell volume, extracellular space volume and astrocyte migration.

Data-driven machine learning tool for quantitative description of microtubule bundling in vivo.
Microtubules – long polarised polymers of tubulin – are essential for normal cell function by providing directions for transporting molecules (such as RNAs and proteins) and organelles inside cells and mediating signalling activities. Read more
Neurodegenerative disorders
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to work on the following projects. Understanding enzymes linked to neurodegeneration and antiviral defence. Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: Probing the projections of different types of dopamine neurons
What makes one neuron different from another? How can we define different “types” of cells? Are cell types important?. In Parkinson’s disease some dopamine neurons seem to be more vulnerable to neurodegeneration. Read more
