Faculty Mentor: Dr. Michael Kapiloff

We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated cellular and molecular biologist with interest in neuronal signal transduction. Current research in the Kapiloff lab addresses how the formation of multimolecular protein complexes confers specificity in intracellular signaling and how these complexes are important for the survival of central nervous system neurons in diseases such as glaucoma and stroke.

A major focus of the lab has been the mAKAP scaffold protein that coordinates crosstalk between cAMP, calcium and MAP-kinase signaling pathways and that is important for neurite extension and neuroprotection in the eye. Basic research concepts studied in the laboratory are being applied to the development of novel gene therapy vectors for the treatment of retinal diseases (glaucoma). This position will involve extensive collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Jeffrey L. Goldberg, Chairman of Ophthalmology at Stanford. In particular, this position involves the study of signaling pathways in living cells and tissues using fluorescent biosensors.
