Description of the Position:
|
Our lab
is interested in understanding the neuro-immune
mechanisms that underlie
susceptibility to stroke,
type 2 diabetes and neurodegenerative disease.
Two
immediate focuses are:
1> Molecular mechanisms
controlling synaptic plasticity
and anxiety disorders.
2> Functions of innate immunity
in metabolic disorders
and stroke recovery
The
laboratory is equipped with molecular and
electrophysiology (patch-clamp)
equipment and a cellular
biology imaging system. The experimental
models used
including primary cell culture, cell lines, viral vectors,
and
various lines of transgenic mice. The trainees will
have the opportunities to
learn and perform the animal
surgery and animal behavior depends on the
projects.
The lab is funded by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and
Canadian
Diabetes Association.
