Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity: Advancing the Use of Extracellular Vesicles for Mitochondrial Transfer to Damaged or Aging Neurons

Organization

University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Ctr., Athens, Georgia, United States

Scientific focus area

Neuroscience, Cell Biology, Stem Cell Biology, Clinical Research, Molecular Pharmacology

The University of Georgia's Regenerative Bioscience Center (RBC) invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in cutting-edge regenerative medicine research. This opportunity focuses on the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) to facilitate mitochondrial transfer to damaged or aging neurons—an innovative approach poised to transform the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and age-related neuronal decline.

About the position

We are seeking two highly motivated and innovative Postdoctoral Fellows to join our research team focused on the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mitochondrial transfer to damaged or aging neurons. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of cell biology, neuroscience, and mitochondrial medicine to explore novel therapeutic strategies aimed at rejuvenating neurons using EVs.
