1-2 Postdoctoral positions are available in the lab of Panayiota Poirazi (www.dendrites.gr) in Crete, starting on January 1st, 2020. 

The positions are for 2 years, with a possibility of renewal for another 2 years. Salary is commensurate with experience.

The successful applicant will work on a multi-disciplinary project funded by the FET (Future and Emerging Technologies) Open Instrument of the European Innovation Council. The NEUREKA project aims to develop a new prototype technology that can be used for drug discovery for neurological diseases. In this new hybrid technology, computational neuronal networks that simulate dysfunction will drive cultured neurons to replicate neuropathologies. A proof-of-concept will be provided for Alzheimer’s disease, using human (iPSC)-derived neurons while testing the effects of novel drug candidates. The NEUREKA partners include the University of Padua (Prof. Vassanelli), CNRS (Prof. Larrieu), the University of Milano Bicocca (Prof. Fanciulli) and Maxwell Biosystems. Pharma advisors include Roche and Cognition Therapeutics Inc.
