Professor in Neurochemistry Ref. No. SU FV-3748-17 Share Share at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. Closing date: 23 April 2018. The professorship in neurochemistry will be placed at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysiscs (DBB). Neurochemistry with molecular neurobiology is one predominant area in research and educational at the department. Several research groups focus on molecular aspects of neurodegenerative mechanisms, studies of ion channels, neurotoxins, cellular differentiation, intra- and extracellular signal transduction and the blood-brain-barrier. A wide spectrum of analytical methods including biochemistry, bioinformatics, computational chemistry, biophysics and molecular biology are used and developed at the department. Other facilities at DBB include cell culture, MST, NMR, techniques for studying protein folding, comparative genomics crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis. The environment for research and education within the subject neurochemistry with molecular neorobiology at Stockholm University also includes scientists at the Department of Molecular Biosciences - The Wenner-Gren Institute and the Department of Zoology. Several research groups the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics are located at Science for Life Laboratory. This is a national facility providing access to advanced methods for large-scale studies of nerve cell development, e.g. via single-cell sequencing and advanced imaging techniques. In addition the proximity to neuroscience departments at Karolinska Institutet, provides ample opportunities for fruitful collaborations. Furthermore, major investments have been and are being made at Stockholm University to create new infrastructures of relevance for neuroscience: a state-of-the-art animal facility with unique opportunities for integrated intravital microscopy, a cryo-EM microscope and the Stockholm University Brain Imaging Centre, an advanced interdisciplinary infrastructure for non-clinical research on brain function and structure.
