Recruitment of Faculty and Research Staff (PDI), Postdoctoral Researchers and PhD Students

The Neurochemistry and Neurodegeneration Research Group is currently involved in projects investigating proteins and lipids of pharmacological interest using innovative techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS), organotypic rodent brain tissue cultures, and immunohistochemical studies.

The group investigates receptors for various neurotransmitters in human brain tissue affected by different pathological conditions, as well as in experimental animal models. Techniques include radioligand binding assays in cell membranes, receptor autoradiography, immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and behavioural tests in rodents to assess memory and learning.
