Immediate opening! Two postdoctoral positions are available immediately to study cellular andmolecular mechanisms resulting in immunosuppression after alcohol use. Thefocus of this research is the role of monocytes and dendritic cells indecreased antigen-specific T cell activation after alcohol use.Intracellular signalling mechanisms resulting in decreased NF-kBactivation and inflammatory cytokine induction after acute alcoholconsumption are being investigated. Please contact Dr. Szabo for details.
There is a current project opening for using deep learning to train and ultimately perform automatic segmentation for multiple brain structures of interest in Multiple Sclerosis. Helpful background would include some proficiency in shell and Python. Please email me if interested.
Dr. Hemond is a board-certified neurologist with clinical subspecialty training in neuroimmunology and multiple sclerosis. His research focuses on the development and validation of MRI-based biomarkers to improve (1) early identification and (2) pathophysiological understanding of the neurodegenerative processes underlying MS.
