| Job Description | The Notterpek laboratory investigates how the loss of glial insulation around axons, called myelin, contributes to the pathogenesis of hereditary and age-related neural disorders. Recent studies also suggest an involvement of myelin damage in the underlying and painful symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia. Current research is focused on understanding the subcellular changes within neural cells that underlie the progressive nature of these disorders and normal aging-associated myelin degeneration. The fellow will take part is studies on the involvement of cholesterol and lipid metabolism in the pathogenesis of inherited demyelinating neuropathies. They will have opportunities to mentor undergraduate students and lead in the design and execution of in vitro and in vivo experiments, the collection and analysis of data, and preparation of manuscripts.
