Position Summary

In the Huentelman Lab, our team studies the genetic basis of neurological disease. We have projects that focus on children and adults with rare diseases, heritable and non-heritable influencers of childhood developmental trajectories, normal brain aging using a large internet-based cohort, Alzheimer’s disease, and related dementias, and brain-related complications resulting from “long COVID”. We make use of various types of genomics-based approaches including arrays, sequencing, single-cell analyses, and spatial-based molecular profiling. We publish frequently, we submit lots of grant applications, we go to scientific conferences together, we try to make a daily difference in our patient’s lives… in short, there is ample opportunity to learn and train in our lab environment. We are milestone-driven. Every team member has an equal voice in experimental design and interpretation of results. We try our best to function as a family and even though our work is challenging we manage to have a fun time doing it.
