Research Description
Work in the Harrison lab is focused on understanding how nutrition, illness and environmental exposures impact brain health. Most of our work related to aging and Alzheimer's disease. We use a wide variety of in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro approaches to study key mechanisms including glutamate homeostasis and neuroinflammation.
Research Keywords
Antioxidants, vitamin C, oxidative stress, animal behavior, learning and memory, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, neuroscience, manganese, sepsis, delirium, neuroinflammation, traumatic brain injury

Available Postdoctoral Position Details
Posted: 5/2/2017
The Harrison lab welcomes applications from post doctoral (or final year predoctoral) candidates with interests in early pathogenic changes associated with Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative diseases.
Current projects in the lab include 1) ascorbate deficiency and altered glutamate clearance in seizures, 2) exposure to manganese and other environmental toxins, and 3) impact of critical illness and delirium on later brain function. In both projects the focus is on highlighting pathways that can be targeted by pharmacological or nutritional interventions to prevent or slow cognitive decline.
The ideal candidate will be experienced in a number of different molecular biology techniques already in use in these projects, and may also bring new techniques and experiences to the lab. Our lab is a collaborative group, with many opportunities for students to participate in research. An interest in teaching and mentoring is, therefore, also welcomed. Experience in some of the following is preferred: animal handling and colony maintenance, biochemical determination of oxidative stress, mRNA and protein expression, rodent behavioral testing, EEG, cell culture, immunohistochemistry.
In some cases, an offer may be contingent on securing training grant funding.
