The project aims at combining mathematics and novel experiments to better understand the causes of the progressive symptoms of memory impairment in persons living with AD. <br class=""><font color="#bf5af2" class=""><span class="" style="caret-color: rgb(160, 33, 223);"><br class=""></span></font>Despite progress, AD research has hit a bottleneck and to date there are no effective treatments to prevent AD. It is now recognised that this is partially due to limitations in AD mice models that do not recapitulate human AD, to conflicting results and research focus on molecular mechanisms. We aim to overcome these limitations by exploring a gab in our understading of abnormal synaptic process (including neural-glia, inflammatory processes) and neural tissue dynamics that lead to AD. To this end, we will combine state-of-the-art experiments based on human brain tissue data, recent mice model that recapitulate human AD, mathematics and computations, which in tandem will address the multi-factorial nature of the disease for future successful drug development. <br class=""><font color="#bf5af2" class=""><span class="" style="caret-color: rgb(160, 33, 223);"><br class=""></span></font>The project is part of a long-standing collaboration between Mathieu Desroches (MathNeuro Project-Team, Inria Sophia Antipolis, France), Serafim Rodrigues (MCEN research group, Basque Center for Applied Mathematics, Bilbao, Spain) and Afia B Ali (School of Pharmacology, University College London, UK) on neurotransmission and its possible disruptions (see <a href="https://www.pnas.org/content/113/8/E1108.short" class="">here</a>). The postdoc will strongly interact with these three researchers.<br class=""><font color="#bf5af2" class=""><span class="" style="caret-color: rgb(160, 33, 223);"><br class=""></span></font>Regarding profiles that we are seeking, <span class="">familiarity of the candidate with mathematical modeling in Neuroscience. Experience with multiple-timescale systems is wishable but not mandatory. Ability and willingness to do programming, as well as analyse experimental data, will also be a strong point to select candidates.</span><br class=""><font color="#bf5af2" class=""><span class="" style="caret-color: rgb(160, 33, 223);"><br class=""></span></font>Please apply online via the following page: <br class=""><a href="https://recrutement.inria.fr/public/classic/fr/offres/2021-03775" class="">https://recrutement.inria.fr/public/classic/fr/offres/2021-03775</a><br class=""><font color="#bf5af2" class=""><span class="" style="caret-color: rgb(160, 33, 223);"><br class=""></span></font><div class="">For informal enquiries, please contact me: <a href="mailto:mathieu.desroches@inria.fr" class="">mathieu.desroches@inria.fr</a> </div><br class=""><div class=""></div></div><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class="">
