The College of Veterinary Medicine is seeking qualified candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to assist with Epilepsy Research. Duties include: Conducting a range of in vivo and in vitro experiments. Immunoprecipitation. Viral vectors studies, including vector design and cloning. RNA sequencing. Proteomics/transcriptomics and bioinformatics. PLA. Immunohistochemistry on brain sections. Surgery to implant electrodes and EEG acquisition and analysis. Our research goal is to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease modification in experimental models of epilepsy and organophosphate-induced long-term Neurotoxicity. Our ongoing research demonstrated that targeting seizure-induced neuroinflammation prevents long-term neurodegeneration and modifies the development of epilepsy/disease progression
