(06) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Fellow in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

We are seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Dr. Jaeyeon Kim, an associate professor, in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM-Indianapolis) and IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Dr. Kim studies the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of ovarian and breast cancer with genetically engineered mouse models and human specimens. The current research focus is to elucidate a conundrum surrounding high cancer risks and distinct cancer susceptibility among BRCA1 carriers. Despite the fact that every cell in their body has a harmful BRCA1 mutation, these women are predisposed particularly to ovarian and breast cancers. It remains a mystery. A seminal study (PNAS 2020; PMID: 33262282) from his lab points to the ovarian hormone progesterone as the culprit for BRCA1 carriers’ distinctive susceptibility to ovarian and breast cancer. Integrating this novel insight and unique Brca1 mouse models, his lab is seeking to decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying the progesterone regulation of ovarian and breast cancer development in BRCA1 carriers—with an emphasis on DNA damage/repair, cell-cycle checkpoint regulation, and immune modulation. This innovative, high-impact research will not only reveal a basic molecular mechanism of cancer susceptibility with BRCA1 mutations, but this knowledge will also offer an innovative strategy for the effective nonsurgical prevention and control of these formidable cancers wreaking havoc on women.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Fellow in Pathology & Laboratory Medicine (Neurodegenerative Diseases)

The Dementia Laboratory, co-led by Drs. Bernardino Ghetti and Kathy L. Newell of the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Division of Neuropathology, has immediate full-time openings for one or more outstanding, highly motivated post-doctoral research fellows with special interest in molecular pathology of neurodegeneration related to aging as well as sporadic and genetically-determined dementias and motor neuron diseases. These include Alzheimer’s Disease, Frontotemporal Dementias, Parkinson’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Prion Diseases. The faculty of the laboratory are well funded including having been awarded several NIA and NINDS grants, which involve local, national and international collaborations with leading scientists. Research data is published in high impact factor and high quality journals.

This fellowship, provides the opportunity to develop and expand knowledge in the neuropathology of human neurodegenerative diseases using light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, immunoelectron microscopy, fluorescent multiplex immunohistochemistry, digital spatial profiling, quantitative digital image analysis, and cryo electron microscopy. Additionally, fellows have the opportunity to participate in and develop multidisciplinary projects integrating neuropathology with cutting-edge brain imaging, clinical neurology, protein chemistry, and molecular genetics as well as communicate and collaborate with leading researchers from around the world. Fellows may focus on one or more misfolded proteins and acquire an understanding of co-pathologies of amyloids simultaneously involving a single anatomical system.

The Dementia Laboratory’s focus is on the molecular neuropathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Our aims are to expand our knowledge of the mechanisms of neurodegeneration. Neurodegenerative diseases may first affect language, cognition, motor systems, and emotions. It is necessary to identify the anatomical areas and systems primarily affected. Specifically, we strive to understand the earliest stages of intracellular alterations in the anatomical areas whose function appears to be involved in the earliest clinical symptoms. From there, we follow the progression and spread of the neurodegenerative process to anatomical areas that are synaptically connected to the regions primarily affected. Our efforts help to clarify the architecture of the neurodegenerative process. Neuropathology, biochemistry and molecular genetics aid in elucidating the stages of neurodegeneration in individual anatomical areas through the analysis of diseases studied postmortem on individuals who were at different stages of the disease process at the time of their passing.

The Dementia Laboratory consists of faculty, staff and students focused on expanding the knowledge on neurodegeneration and the associated misfoled proteins. It provides an environment for a multidisciplinary approach to the study of neurodegenerative dementias. The Dementia Laboratory’s Brain Library contains specimens from well over 2500 individuals collected over the past 45 years offering a unique opportunity to study a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases occurring in a variety of ages, sexes, and racial and ethnic groups.

IUSM is committed to being an institution that reflects the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve and pursues the values of equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence. We desire candidates whose work contributes to equitable and inclusive learning and working environments for our learners, staff, and faculty. We invite individuals who will join us in our mission to improve health equity and well-being for all throughout the state of Indiana.

(25) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Fellow in Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

The Dementia Laboratory, co-led by Drs. Bernardino Ghetti and Kathy L. Newell of the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Division of Neuropathology, has immediate full-time openings for one or more outstanding, highly motivated post-doctoral research fellows with special interest in molecular pathology of neurodegeneration related to aging as well as sporadic and genetically-determined dementias and motor neuron diseases. These include Alzheimer’s Disease, Frontotemporal Dementias, Parkinson’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Prion Diseases. The faculty of the laboratory are well funded including having been awarded several NIA and NINDS grants, which involve local, national and international collaborations with leading scientists. Research data is published in high impact factor and high quality journals.
This is a three-year fellowship that provides the opportunity to develop and expand knowledge in the neuropathology of human neurodegenerative diseases using light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, immunoelectron microscopy, fluorescent multiplex immunohistochemistry, digital spatial profiling, quantitative digital image analysis, and cryo electron microscopy. Additionally, fellows have the opportunity to participate in and develop multidisciplinary projects integrating neuropathology with cutting-edge brain imaging, clinical neurology, protein chemistry, and molecular genetics as well as communicate and collaborate with leading researchers from around the world. Fellows may focus on one or more misfolded proteins and acquire an understanding of co-pathologies of amyloids simultaneously involving a single anatomical system.
The Dementia Laboratory’s focus is on the molecular neuropathology of neurodegenerative diseases. Our aims are to expand our knowledge of the mechanisms of neurodegeneration. Neurodegenerative diseases may first affect language, cognition, motor systems, and emotions. It is necessary to identify the anatomical areas and systems primarily affected. Specifically, we strive to understand the earliest stages of intracellular alterations in the anatomical areas whose function appears to be involved in the earliest clinical symptoms. From there, we follow the progression and spread of the neurodegenerative process to anatomical areas that are synaptically connected to the regions primarily affected. Our efforts help to clarify the architecture of the neurodegenerative process. Neuropathology, biochemistry and molecular genetics aid in elucidating the stages of neurodegeneration in individual anatomical areas through the analysis of diseases studied postmortem on individuals who were at different stages of the disease process at the time of their passing.
The Dementia Laboratory consists of faculty, staff and students focused on expanding the knowledge on neurodegeneration and the associated misfoled proteins. It provides an environment for a multidisciplinary approach to the study of neurodegenerative dementias. The Dementia Laboratory’s Brain Library contains specimens from well over 2500 individuals collected over the past 45 years offering a unique opportunity to study a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases occurring in a variety of ages, sexes, and racial and ethnic groups.
