What are the responsibilities and job description for the UNIV - Research Specialist II - Department of Pharmacology position at MUSC Health?
Job Description Summary
Seeking a motivated individual for a research specialist position in neuroimmunology for projects that encompasses basic and translational research.
Work in the laboratory is centered around the complement system and neuroinflammatory mechanisms. Ongoing projects involve investigating acute and chronic neuroimmune responses occurring after stroke or after different types of traumatic brain injury, including the long-term neurodegenerative sequalae of injury. For example, one project is focused on traumatic brain injury as a risk factor for Alzheimer’s Disease.
Another project investigates pathogenic mechanisms of postnatal hemorrhagic stroke and neurodevelopmental consequences. Studies utilize various mouse models. Techniques will include advanced microscopy, cellular and molecular immune profile analysis, high dimensional analyses, and detailed assessments of motor and cognitive functions, The laboratory is also developing novel transgenic animals for mechanistic studies, and is involved in the development (and commercialization) of novel therapeutic approaches. The laboratory has been a leader in the development of novel targeted complement inhibitory strategies.
