Posting Description

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, MOLECULAR NEUROSCIENCE, Department of Biological Engineering - Bathe Lab, to help pioneer a new approach in molecular neuroscience based on simultaneous single-synapse multimodal interrogation of the activity and biochemistry of synapse populations. In collaboration with the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute, this individual will work on leveraging technology developed in the Bathe lab to study the molecular etiology of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders and the mechanisms of psychoactive therapeutics and develop tools to extract new information modalities at the single-synapse resolution. The project aims to interrogate cellular models from human patient cell lines to reveal molecular mechanisms of perturbed cognition that will enable psychiatric drug discovery and understanding of cognitive disorders.
