**Job Description**

**Postdoctoral Fellow in novel gene-based therapeutic approaches to Alzheimer’s Disease**

Immediately available, NIH funded

Description:

The Alison Goate laboratory in the Departments of Genetics and Genomic Sciences and of Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City is currently looking for highly skilled and motivated molecular and cell biologists to be the drivers of our efforts to translate the human genetics of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) into effective preventative and therapeutic interventions. Core areas of focus will be translating genetics and human biology observations into both in vitro (induced pluripotent stem cell models) and in vivo systems (mouse models) to understand innate immune modifiers of AD pathogenesis. In particular, the Goate lab concentrates on identifying human genetic variants associated with AD and dissecting the molecular, cellular, and tissue-level mechanisms by which ...
