Job Details

Dementia is the biggest health challenge of our century. To date, there is no way to prevent it or even slow its progression, and there is an urgent need to fill the knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the diseases that cause it.

The post holder’s primary role will be to perform assays and other biomarker analyses within the Genetic FTD Initiative (GENFI) study and associated clinical trials in FTD, particularly in relation to cellular dysfunctions such as neuroinflammation. They will also help with the processing, management and storage of data and samples collected for these studies, and with analysing the biomarker data.
