Description
Cellular and organismal aging using Drosophila as a model system
POSITION SUMMARY
The Zhou lab at the Buck Institute has an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Associate to study the connection between cellular and organismal aging, neuroscience & behavior, as well as age-related diseases (.
AD and ALS) using fruit flies as a model.
Cellular aging, with conserved hallmarks including proteostasis defect, mitochondrial / lysosomal dysfunction, and epigenetics changes, is well studied among different cell types.
However, beyond these cellular aging phenotypes, the mechanism that leads to organismal-level aging, including cognitive function decline, gastrointestinal track malfunction, and stress vulnerability, is less understood.
The Zhou lab, which has a well-established system to study aging mechanisms at the cellular level, recently started to systematically understand how cellular aging leads to organismal aging.
We adopt Drosophila as a model system to study how aging hallmarks in different cell types (., neurons) contribute to organismal aging.
In addition to powerful genetics in Drosophila, we leverage an array of cutting-edge techniques, encompassing advanced imaging methods, behavior screening, biochemistry, and machine learning, to assay physiological aging.
Our objective is for you to succeed and publish high-profile papers that will help you fulfill your future career goals.
This is a great time to join our lab since one of several ongoing fly projects is wrapping up. Please check the for recent publications.
