Post-Doctoral Associate in Molecular Medicine and Chemical Biology

This postdoctoral position at NYU Abu Dhabi’s Magzoub Laboratory focuses on designing protein and synthetic small molecule inhibitors, alongside innovative drug delivery platforms, to target pathogenic protein self-assembly linked to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and type II diabetes. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with Professor Mazin Magzoub, contributing to cutting-edge research at the intersection of molecular medicine and chemical biology. The role emphasizes hands-on experimental work, including optical spectroscopy, microscopy, and in vivo model systems like *C. elegans* and mice. The position offers a competitive salary, housing allowance, and a dynamic international research environment in Abu Dhabi. Ideal for postdocs with a strong background in protein misfolding diseases and a passion for translational research.

• Design and synthesize protein-based and synthetic small molecule inhibitors targeting pathogenic protein self-assembly.
• Develop and optimize novel drug delivery platforms for neurodegenerative disease therapeutics.
• Conduct advanced experimental work using optical spectroscopy and microscopy techniques.
• Perform in vivo studies using *C. elegans* and mouse models to validate drug efficacy.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to advance translational research projects.
• Publish findings in high-impact scientific journals and present research at conferences.
• Maintain detailed records of experimental procedures and results for reproducibility.
