Job Description
Missions
The team seeks to better understand the signaling mechanisms that regulate energy homeostasis in cells of the central nervous system. Neurons and glial cells display distinct metabolic signatures, which requires intercellular exchange of metabolites that serve both as energy precursors and signaling molecules. The team has shown that disruption of this metabolic dialogue contributes to the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (Le Douce et al., Cell Metabolism, 2020). The aim of the project is to investigate the contribution of astrocytes to vascular and metabolic responses during sensory activation in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, using in vivo two-photon imaging and genetically encoded biosensors.
Activity
Conducting in vivo two-photon imaging studies in rodents
Using viral vectors in vivo (stereotaxy)
Data analysis
Presentation of data and publication of results
Your Profil
Skills
PhD in Neuroscience
Experience in in vivo imaging or data analysis strongly recommended
Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent tools for signal analysis
Experience in rodent animal experimentation
Experience in the field of neurodegenerative diseases and, if possible, neuron–glia interactions
Autonomy, scientific rigor, and ability to work as part of a team
