We are inviting applications from talented students with matching interests and ambitions to join our highly interactive team of scientists at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco. Our group focuses on processes that cause cognitive disorders ranging from dementias to epileptic encephalopathies and autism spectrum disorders. We use rodent and tissue culture models to identify and rigorously validate novel drug targets. Experimental models are also used to develop and evaluate promising therapeutic strategies. The clinical relevance and potential of these strategies are assessed through interdisciplinary collaborations involving clinical programs and industrial partners. Postdoctoral fellows who trained in this lab have been very successful in securing leadership positions in academia and industry alike.
