Our laboratory has been involved to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of PS1 gene transcription. Therefore, apoB gene plays a central role in lipoprotein metabolism. Transcription factors regulating apoB gene expression likely control LDL cholesterol level in plasma and thus, increase or decrease the risk of atherosclerosis. Cloning of genes encoding these transcription factors and their co-activators will provide avenues to treat heart disease. The laboratory is part of the newly founded Institute for Aging and Alzheimer's Disease Research.
Salary is guaranteed.
The lab offers state of the art technology and a highly interactive multidisciplinary work environment.
