Search for applicant to Beca Postdoctoral de CONICET
Is seeks applicant for scholarship postdoctoral in the laboratory of Neurobiology Molecular (LNM) of the Institute of research biomedical UCA-CONICET, in the frame of the project institutional of the BIOMED 2017-2020? * biology cell, pathophysiology and intervention pharmacological in the fibrosis cystic *? equipped with 5 million pesos granted to the BIOMED and requiring application of the candidate before the upcoming August 27.
The LNM, directed by Dr. Francisco. J. Barrantes, studies the topology and (nAChR) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor function. In this sub-project, the selected fellow will study the relationship between the receiver type alfa7 (? 7nAChR) and the regulatory protein of the conductance of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane (known as CFTR by its acronym in English), using a combination of techniques in molecular and cellular biology, and Biophysics, including advanced Super-resolution optical microscopy methods. The? Middle 7nAChR the entry of Ca2 + and the stimulation of AMPc, effect inhibited by the (relevant in chronic smokers and COPD) nicotine, which desensitizes to the? 7nAChR. So the CFTR induces the eradication of bacterial infections, must be located in the so-called lipid rafts (? do rafts?), rich in cholesterol. He is expected to clarify the nAChR-the CFTR topographic relationship, and the possible role of cholesterol in the regulation of such a relationship and its correlates fisopatológicos.
