We study how synapses work at the molecular level because it is important for understanding how the brain works normally and why it does not work in diseases.
A postdoctoral position is available in @LabAcqua@CUPharmacology Research will employ sophisticated fluorescence imaging approaches to study regulation of kinase and phosphatase signaling complexes required for synaptic plasticity. Contact [email protected]
