Neurolipidomics

Finally, it is done after several years of hard work; our first synaptoneurolipidomics manuscript has been published! We are very grateful to the LIFS-team for their support!

How an enriched environment fires up our synapses

Postgenomic research reveals the role of peptides and lipids in the context of signal transduction.

The processing of sensory impressions and information depends very much on how the synapses in our brain work. Our team and neuroscientist Michael R. Kreutz from Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology in Magdeburg showed how lipid and protein regulation impact the brain’s processing in a beautiful and stimulating environment. The lipids located in the membranes of the synapses are central to signal transmission, and the researchers report in “Cell Reports” the synaptic impact of specific lipids. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109797

The Research Center Borstel - Leibniz Lung Center is looking for a

Research Group Leader Bacterial Structures and Metabolites

Your duties:

Your research will be located at the interface of analytical chemistry and microbiology, centered around the identification of microbial metabolites that aggravate disease or act protective thereof and which are involved in chronic lung diseases, specifically in asthma. This involves not only the description of such metabolites, but also their identification and isolation for potential transfer into clinical phase-I studies. Therefor, the application of innovative analytical methods for detection and discovery of novel bioactive compounds and their characterization is of crucial importance. The latter will be conducted in close collaboration with other working groups at FZB, specifically with the experimental microbiome research and bioanalytical chemistry groups. Your duties also include teaching and training in the sketched subject area. Additional interdisciplinary cooperations should be established with national and international partners, specifically with the German Centers for Lung Research (DZL) and Infection Research (DZIF).

Your qualifications:

PhD in the life sciences
Achievements equivalent to a qualification
to teach at professorial level ("Habilitationsäquivalente Leistungen")
Practical & Working expertise in microbiology and analytical chemistry
Mangement experience (own research group)

Please find the complete announcement here (click on Forschungsgruppenleiter*in (w/m/d), in German).

The deadline for applications is November 21st, 2020.
