Early stage researcher/PhD student positions available in the European Training Network Brain Barriers Training – BtRAIN
The European Training Network Brain Barriers Training – BtRAIN invites applications for 12 positions for Early Stage Researchers (ESR)/PhD students.
The following BtRAIN projects are available
Project 1: In vitro models of the blood brain-barrier (BBB) and applications in pharmacological and toxicological screenings
Project 2: In vitro models of the blood-brain and blood- cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers using an integrated microfluidic device
Project 3: Comparison of mouse and zebrafish cerebral endothelial cell transcriptomes and functional investigation of conserved pathways governing brain angiogenesis and BBB formation
Project 4: Integrative meta-analysis of public and novel vertebrate BBB omics data and establishment of the BBBhub platform
Project 5: Role of the orphan G-protein-coupled receptor Gpr126 signalling in the development of the blood-brain barrier
Project 6: Age-induced changes in gene and microRNA expression at the mouse blood-brain barrier
Project 7: Blood-brain barrier derived non-conding RNAs as functional biomarkers for the aging BBB versus the BBB in Alzheimer’s Disease
Project 8: Brain endothelial mechanisms directing the cellular pathway of T cell migration across the BBB
Project 9: Contribution of the BBB in amyloid-b biology in Alzheimer’s disease
Project 10: Exploring CD4+ T cells as carriers to mediate transport of drugs across the blood-brain barrier
Project 11: Role of different receptors in promoting pathogen and leukocyte migration across the brain cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) in meningitis
Project 12: Molecular control of the human brain barriers in health and neuroinflammation
