ERC-funded project: neural control of locomotion before and after spinal cord injury in salamanders – Graduate student position

PROJECT: Salamanders can swim underwater and walk on ground. Their spinal cord regenerates after a full transection and the animal recovers voluntary locomotion after a few weeks. How this occurs is largely unknown. Genetic dissection of salamander neural circuits is now feasible with methods for manipulation, elimination, and visualization of genetically-defined cells. Such approaches can […]

Master’s Position Available to Study the Effect of Neural Stem Cell Senescence on Brain Repair – Lindsey Lab, University of Manitoba

Description of the position: This project uniquely examines the role of cellular senescence in regulating the regenerative capacity of neural stem cells in the aging brain using the adult zebrafish model. The objective of the proposed study is to define which zebrafish neural stem cell populations undergo aging, how this is regulated by changes in […]

Master’s Position Available to Study the Role of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) during Spinal Cord Injury – Lindsey/Logue Labs, University of Manitoba

Description of the position: This project uniquely investigates the role of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in regulating the regenerative ability of neural stem cells following spinal cord injury (SCI) using the zebrafish model. The objective of the proposed study is to identify the temporal dynamics of UPR signaling during the repair process, characterize the […]
