Two position openings at Denali Therapeutics, South San Francisco, CA

Announcing several exciting opportunities to join Denali Therapeutics, a South San Francisco biotech company focused on cutting edge exploratory biology to advance new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases!
Our postdoc program is significantly expanding this year with multiple new positions available now and in the coming months. We are currently actively recruiting for the following:

POSITION 1 -- BBB transport biology (Dr. Joy Yu Zuchero Lab)

New Denali postdoc opportunity to focus on transport at the BBB! Dr. Joy Yu Zuchero (Associate Director/Group Leader at Denali & 2023 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Brain Barriers Conference co-organizer) has a new position now open in her lab. Joy Zuchero’s growing group at Denali Therapeutics is seeking to recruit a dynamic, highly motivated Postdoctoral Scientist for a project focusing on understanding the biology of BBB receptors that are being targeted for CNS transport in healthy aging and disease.
The work will build upon some of our past published studies (e.g. Kariolis et al. Sci Transl Med, 2020), take advantage of a range of cutting-edge technologies available in-house, and leverage external collaborations with academic labs as appropriate.
Support for the planned studies will come from Denali’s BBB Pathway (led by Dr. Zuchero), Biology Discovery, Protein Sciences, and Computational Biology Teams.

POSITION 2 -- Microglial Biology (Dr. Kate Monroe's group)

Dr. Kate Monroe (Associate Director/Group Leader at Denali & 2021 Neuroimmune Interactions in Health and Disease Keystone Conference co-organizer with Beth Stevens and Jony Kipnis) has a new position now open in her lab.
The Glial Biology Pathway Team and Dr. Monroe’s Lab at Denali Therapeutics is seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Scientist to interrogate the molecular and cellular pathways underlying neurodegenerative diseases. Work envisioned includes performing highly translational research to investigate microglia biology and mechanisms of neurodegeneration, with the ultimate goal of identifying new drug targets and elucidating genetically linked microglial pathways that contribute to neurodegenerative disease, with an emphasis in Alzheimer’s disease.
