Join a place where ambitious science thrives
Human Technopole (Milan) is a rapidly expanding life science institute where international researchers and cutting-edge technologies converge to accelerate biomedical discovery. Our mission is to transform bold scientific ideas into advances that improve human health.
Within this mission, the LaJoie lab, as part of the Molecular Cell Research Centre, studies how proteins of the nuclear envelope function to promote human health. By doing so, we can understand how their dysregulation results in diseases such as muscular dystrophy and cardiomyopathy. With the combination of specialized resources and expertise at Human Technopole, we are uniquely able to address these questions and the molecular and cellular level.
Your mission
The LaJoie Group seeks a Postdoc to identify novel protein-protein interactions using in situ crosslinking mass spectrometry, characterize disease-relevant protein mutations biochemically,
and perform protein perturbation experiments in cells to understand molecular pathways of diseases of the nuclear envelope. The position is suited for candidates from the fields of biochemistry, cell biology, and proteomics, who are interested in integrating diverse methodologies in a highly collaborative environment.
Grow Your Skills
You will enhance your scientific skills and professional skills in a research environment that spans multiple disciplines and specialized methodologies uniquely possible at Human Technopole. The role therefore provides the opportunity to integrate advanced techniques in cell biology (e.g. cellular perturbation approaches, light microscopy), biochemistry (e.g. single molecule studies), structural proteomics (e.g. crosslinking mass spectrometry), and the possibility to work with disease-relevant cellular model systems (e.g. iPSCs). Through mentorship and collaboration, you will strengthen
