Join the AHA-Allen Brain Health and Cognitive Impairment Initiative at the Salk Institute Nine laboratories at the Salk Institute have joined forces to understand how aging contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other age-associated neurodegenerative conditions. This highly interactive team is seeking talented postdoctoral fellows who can work across disciplines (and potentially in multiple labs) to tackle this important problem. Our group is highly resourced and committed to translating what we know about the hallmarks of aging into a new understanding of AD, with the goal of developing novel biomarkers and potential therapeutics. The team has expertise in multiple cell biological systems dysregulated in aging (e.g., inflammation, mitochondria, metabolism, DNA damage/repair, and epigenetics) and is exploring how they interact and contribute to AD and why aging is its biggest risk factor. Experiments are being performed using innovative human cell...

The Callway Laboratory works with the billions of cells that make up the brain are a diverse bunch-some neurons are responsible for decision-making and others for memory, while some process information from the eye and others interpret smells. To understand how the brain organizes all these tasks and information, and what causes diseases like schizophrenia and autism, scientists need to map the connections between neurons. But it isn't easy, as the brain is more like a tangled bowl of spaghetti than a neat matrix of city streets. And techniques to look at the brain have mostly only allowed researchers to get a big-picture view of structure rather than to zoom in on individual cells. We are currently seeking a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral fellow to   study cell types and their connections in the cerebral cortex.
