New funding and postdoc opportunities

We have received an R61 grant from NIH that will fund joint work with Dr. Matthew Schrag’s lab to build out novel mouse and human models of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We are seeking to hire two new postdoctoral associates to work on these projects!

Sarah joins the lab!

Finally, we have a lab manager! Sarah joins us from the Vanderbilt Antibody and Protein Resource core facility. Previous to her appointment at VAPR, she was a lab manager and research assistant across several groups at Vanderbilt. She will provide desperately needed support on animal handling and experimentation as we begin to transition our work into the in vivo realm. Moreover, her extensive wet lab experience will provide ample support and training for the graduate students. It’s great to have her on board!

Lauren joins the lab!

We are pleased to welcome Lauren Drake as our newest graduate student. Lauren majored in bioengineering at UPenn and performed research on protein aggregation in James Shorter’s lab. She joins the growing arm of our team that focuses on building more representative models of the human brain in health and disease.
