We are looking for an intellectually curious and motivated postdoctoral fellow to join in the fun exploring how glia regulate neurogenesis and neuronal fate-specification. Our approaches are interdisciplinary and involve ...Posted by Vilaiwan Fernandes, on 18 May 2023
Postdoc position available in the Fernandes lab at University College London for Autumn 2023 on the cell biology of neuron-generated morphogen gradients Well-studied morphogen gradients (e.g. Shh in the vertebrate neural tube or Hh in theDrosophila wing imaginal disc) occur in epithelia where the gradient emanates away from the ligand producing cells. We have found […]

Postdoc 1: Timing and coordinating neuronal specification with commitment Neuronal differentiation is driven by dramatic changes in gene expression, which are precisely timed during development. This project aims to understand (1) the molecular mechanisms that drive a progenitor cell to differentiate into a neuron and (2) how these mechanisms are timed to enable rapid commitment to […]
