Academic position: Blood Brain Barrier Specialist Copenhagen Research Scientist The Department of Biologics within the division of Discovery Biology Research at Lundbeck A/S is looking for a research scientist with a strong background in the area blood brain barrier research (BBB). This is a unique opportunity for an up and coming Ph.D. scientist to lead a research effort aimed at designing novel drug delivery vehicle for protein based drugs across the blood brain barrier.

USA - NIH Postdoctoral Position Opening A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. David Miller's group in the Laboratory of Pharmacology, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health in Research Triangle Park, NC to study mechanisms of regulation of ABC transporters (p-glycoprotein, Mrp2, Mrp4, BCRP) at the blood-brain barrier. The group is looking at ways to modify the barrier to improve CNS pharmacotherapy. We are concerned about how the barrier changes in CNS disease and how those changes alter the ability to deliver therapeutic drugs to the brain. Our experiments are done in vivo with mice and rats and in vitro with intact, functional brain capillaries. We are currently developing ways to apply molecular biological techniques to those systems and to better image blood-brain barrier transport and signaling in vivo using optical probes and multiphoton microscopy.The ideal candidate would be a recent Ph.D. or Pharm. D with a background in transport biology or signaling. Starting date is flexible. Interested scientists should send a CV and a cover letter to Dr. Miller (miller@niehs.nih.gov). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
