Career opportunities in cell biology and molecular neuroscience

We are among the core members of Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine). Our lab in the brand new Clinical Sciences Building, located in the central district of Singapore, focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the progression of neurological disorders and studies how cellular lipid homeostasis impacts on this process. We use the combination of mammalian cell biology and C. elegans genetics to tackle these fundamental questions. Excited and motivated individuals are all encouraged to apply!
