Meunier lab PhD projects
Prospective candidates should be highly motivated and have previous experience in neuroscience, microscopy and/or biophysics and engineering.
Project 1: Use of single molecule imaging to track botulinum neurotoxin interaction with the neuronal membrane
Project 2: Use of single molecule imaging to track epigenetic modifications elicited by synaptic plasticity associated with memory
Project 3: Use of single molecule imaging to uncover the change in presynaptic nanoscale organization occurring during neurotransmitter release (endocytosis)
Project 4: Use of single molecule imaging to uncover the change in presynaptic nanoscale organization occurring during neurotransmitter release (exocytosis)
Project 5: Use of single molecule imaging to uncover the change in Fyn and associated signalling cascade occurring during the development of Alzheimer’s disease
Project 6: Use of single molecule imaging to uncover the change in a-synuclein nanoscale organization in neurons associated with various disease-causing mutations
