THE SYNAPTIC LOGISTICS LAB
The Sun lab investigates protein machines that manage the molecular logistics of brain synapses using quantitative spatial proteomics approaches. Our core hypothesis: molecular supply puts constraints on synaptic function, and the logistic vulnerabilities of brain synapses seed the onset of neurological diseases.
The Sun Lab opens soon in Aarhus, Denmark
The Sun Lab will open in the Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience (DANDRITE) based at Aarhus University, Denmark in 2023 spring.
PhD, postdoc, and intern positions are available
