JOB OPPORTUNITY OF POST-DOCTORAL COLLEAGUE AT ELTE-TTK NEURONAL SCAFFOLD PROTEIN RESEARCH GROUP
Over the last decade, liquid-liquid phase separation has received increasing attention in relation to the development of altered synaptic function, which underlie neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Our research aims to demonstrate that postsynaptic functions mediated by the neuronal scaffolding protein Caskin1 are associated with liquid-liquid phase separation. Our studies are aimed at elucidating the function of the neuronal scaffold protein Caskin1 in the postsynaptic protein network and understanding its role in neurodevelopmental disorders. https://neuroscience.elte.hu/neuroscaffoldgroup
