Job opportunities : Neurodegenerative disease modelling using scCRISPR screening

Three exciting job opportunities for two postdocs and one advanced research assistant to work on screening for genes involved in neurodegenerative disease using iPSC-derived cell types (neurons, astrocytes and microglia). This will use cutting edge CRISPR screening with a single cell RNAseq readout coupled with phenotypic assays to identify and characterise known and putative Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and ALS genes.
