Post: Ph.D Position
Description
NOCICEPTIVE SIGNALING AND ITS MODULATION IN STEM CELL DERIVED NEURONS
This project aims at establishing an in vitro system of canine neuronal cells in order to study the role of pain mediators and the impact of drugs on cellular response.
Our goals are
1. to promote the directed differentiation of commercially available canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to neurons
2. to characterize the cells and to assess their functional and structural specificity
3. to assess the effects of pharmaceuticals and substances relevant to neurogenesis. Nanoparticles will be used as a vehicle to allow uptake and release of compounds/drugs
