Postdoctoral and Staff Scientist positions

Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston

Department of Microbiology and Immunology

Laboratory of Dr. Stephen Tomlinson

Two positions are available. All work in the laboratory is centered around the complement system and neuroinflammatory mechanisms. Projects encompass both basic and translational research. More specifically, ongoing projects involve investigating acute and chronic neuroimmune responses occurring after different types of traumatic brain injury, including long-term neurodegenerative sequalae of injury. Studies utilize different mouse models of mild and severe brain injury. Techniques will include development of transgenic mice, advanced microscopy, cellular and molecular immune profile analysis, high dimensional analyses, detailed assessments of motor and cognitive functions, and the development of novel therapeutic approaches. The laboratory is a leader in the development of novel targeted complement inhibitory strategies.
