Mentor Areas
Students will learn techniques such as working with radioactivity, radioligand binding assays, autoradiography, tissue histology and microscopy studies. Scientific areas include neuroscience and neurodegeneration.
Description:
The goal of this project is to conduct in vitro assays characterizing the molecular properties of radioligands that are being developed as radiotracers for imaging alpha synuclein and 4R tau in the Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRDs). We are looking for juniors and seniors who will be responsible for performing experiments involving radioligand binding assays, autoradiography and histology studies.
