The laboratory directed by CNR researcher Dr. Marianna Leonzino in the "Area Neuro" of the Humanitas Research Hospital is seeking talented and highly motivated
researchers at all career stages.

Successful applicants will join a vibrant young team working on the role of interorganellar communication in neurodegenerative diseases and will contribute to a project aimed at dissecting cellular pathways leading to neuronal death in the context of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The project is part of a collaborative effort involving also the lab of Dr. Paolo Colombi (IGM-CNR).
The team uses human IPSC-derived neurons as a cellular model and takes advantage of gene-editing techniques to develop disease-modeling cell lines. We have open positions for candidates with different levels of experience, either holding a MSc degree (Laurea Magistrale) or a PhD. All MSc graduates with a background in Cellular and Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Neurobiology and Cellular Neuroscience are welcome to apply.

Postdocs with a strong neurobiology expertise, and background in Cellular Neuroscience, Biochemistry and Advanced Light microscopy would be optimal candidates.
Prior experience in the field of ALS or inter-organelle communication and with the use of IPSCs will be considered a plus.

Interested applicants should send their CV and cover letter to the PI, Marianna
Leonzino at the following address: marianna.leonzino@humanitasresearch.it
