Job summary

Myana is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Translational Neuroscience to advance novel therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. The role focuses on in vivo experiments, translational biomarkers, and MRI-based endpoints to drive CNS drug discovery.

You will design and execute studies, generate mechanistic insights, and collaborate across neuroscience, imaging, pharmacology, and data science teams, presenting findings at conferences and in publications.

Qualifications

• Experience with rodent models of neurodegenerative disease.
• Hands-on molecular/cellular biology techniques (ELISA, Meso Scale Discovery, IHC, Quanterix).
• MRI or translational imaging experience.
• Knowledge of PK/PD and translational pharmacology.
• Proficiency in data analysis/visualization (GraphPad Prism, HALO, MATLAB/Python).
• Ability to independently design, execute, and troubleshoot complex studies.
• Strong scientific communication evidenced by publications and presentations.

Responsibilities

• Design and conduct preclinical studies using rodent models of neurodegenerative diseases.
• Perform hands-on in vivo experiments, including dosing, tissue collection, and biomarker analyses.
• Apply biochemical and molecular techniques (ELISA, Meso Scale Discovery, IHC, ultrasensitive biomarker assays).
• Develop and utilize in vivo MRI methods to evaluate neuroinflammation and translational endpoints.
• Integrate imaging, fluid biomarker, and pharmacological data to uncover disease mechanisms.
• Collaborate with neuroscience, translational imaging, pharmacology, and data science teams.
• Present findings through internal presentations, conferences, and publications.
