UCL Department of Cell and Developmental Biology
We are looking for 2 talented scientists to join our lab! We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study the signalling mechanisms behind synaptic plasticity & also a research technician to support several projects in the lab.
More information can be found in our Job Opportunities page and over at UCL Jobs
We are excited to share our newest publication on the effects of nitric oxide signalling on the formation of multi-innervated spines. We found that Wnt7a stimulates the formation of MISs via the activation of postsynaptic Dvl1 and retrograde nNOS signalling. The results are published in Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience (link).
You can find this and the rest of our publications on our Publications page.
Applications are being accepted for a postdoctoral position to study the signalling mechanisms controlling synaptic plasticity in health and disease
We congratulate our past student Patricia Molina Molina on her Neuroscience MSc distinction and for winning the best overall student. Good luck in your PhD at the Institute of Neurosciences, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Dr Aude Marzo, a postdoctoral fellow in the lab, was awarded the UCL Neuroscience Early Career prize (June 2017) in the Advanced Category. This award was based on her work recently published in Current Biology. (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/research/domains/neuroscience/events/2017NeuroscienceSymposium)
Dr Ernest Palomer-Villa, a postdoctoral fellow in the lab, was awarded EU H2020 Marie Curie Fellowship to work on the mechanisms that lead to the deregulation of Wnt components in Alzheimer’s disease.
