A lecture by the Professor of Developmental Genetics and Genomics at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and at the University of Geneva (Switzerland)

In this seminar, Francesco Di Virgilio (University of Ferrara) has provided an overview and shown data addressing the functional interactions of purinergic receptors, Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMP) and the inflammasomes, with implications for the molecular pathogenesis of periodic fever

A 4 year post-doc will address the hypothesis that early changes in axonal biology, and particularly in RNA localization and axonal signalling, play a role in ALS. The project will use a recently generated mouse model of ALS, microfluidic chambers to isolate axons, and a novel RNA tagging tool. This project is based in UCL ION within Gipi Schiavo's lab.

post-doc that will focus on the in vivo isolation and analysis of cell specific and subcellular RNA changes in motor neurons of a novel ALS mouse model. This will be achieved using a novel RNA tagging system in mice. The work will be carried out in UCL ION with Lizzy Fisher.
