Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Biochemistry

Two postdoc positions are available at the Laboratory of the Biochemistry of Cell Signalling, University of São Paulo’s Institute of Chemistry, Brazil.

The main goal of the laboratory is to understand the signaling pathways that lead to pain to guide the development of new non-opioid analgesics. We aim to study signaling pathways involved in the embryonic development of components of the pain system and the signal transduction processes involved in nociceptive pain mediated by Nerve Growth factor (NGF) and the kinase activated by this growth factor, TrkA. In another subproject studys the role of the kinase PKMzeta in synaptic remodeling in chronic pain.
