    Description
    Title Assistant Research Professor in Anatomy, Cell Biology & Physiology Specific Title Appointment Type Scientist Track Faculty Department IUSM - Anatomy, Cell Biology & Physiology Campus IU School of Medicine Indianapolis Position Summary


    The Lasagna-Reeves lab, a member of the Stark Neuroscience Research Institute (SNRI) at Indiana University School of Medicine, invites applications for a faculty position at the rank of Research Assistant Professor to develop a project to identify mechanisms involved in Resiliency against Alzheimer's disease.


    Pathological aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau and the preponderance of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) or other inclusions containing tau are the defining histopathological features of Alzheimer's disease and more than 20 other neurodegenerative tauopathies.

    Therefore, the study of the physiological and pathological function of tau is key to understanding and treating these neurodegenerative diseases.

    Hence, the main focus of the Lasagna-Reeves Lab is to comprehensively elucidate the role that tau physiology plays in neurodegenerative tauopathies.

    The Lasagna-Reeves Lab works on a study characterizing the mechanisms involved in tau aggregation and protection against AD.

    To pursue this, the lab combined in vitro structural and cellular techniques with mouse genetic manipulations and human neuropathology to determine the pathways involved in resiliency against AD.


    The lab is looking for investigators with expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, mouse and behavior, spatial transcriptomic, and histological analysis in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.

    The successful candidate will join an already established team that includes senior and junior scientists, as well as postdocs and Ph.

    D. students who will also be involved in this project.

    Primary Duties and Responsibilities


    • Responsible for developing an end-to-end project dissecting the mechanisms involved in resiliency against AD.
    • Lead, develop, and troubleshoot specific analyses.
    • Multi-task projects and keep pace in a dynamic research environment.
    • Present research advances at a variety of internal and external seminars.
    • Lead manuscript writing.
    • Direct, coordinate, and supervise laboratory personnel.
    • Mentor students and research staff
