General lab information:

Our lab focuses on the biology and pathology of upper motor neurons with respect to health and neurodegeneration.  Ozdinler Lab is a member of Chemistry of Life Processes Institute,  Les Turner ALS Center , Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease, and Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Research Centers at Northwestern.  Our overall goals are to reveal the underlying causes of upper motor neuron vulnerability and to develop effective treatment strategies for diseases that affect voluntary movement. 

Available Positions:

* We have open positions for WORK-STUDY students in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. e-mail: b-genc@northwestern.edu

* We have open positions for postdoctoral fellows who have expertise and interest in motor neuron biology and disease. e-mail: ozdinler@northwestern.edu
