A postdoctoral training position to study PARP functions in development/neurodegeneration is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Yingfei Wang in Departments of Pathology and Neurology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Wang lab studies 1) oxidative stress/mitochondrial dysfunction-induced neurodegeneration and neuronal cell death in aging-related neurological diseases (Wang Y et al., Science, 2016; Liu S et al., Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2021; Wang Y et al., Molecular Psychiartry, 2022) and 2) role of PARPs and PARP-1-dependent cell death (PARthanatos) regulators in cell death/growth following acute brain injury or cancers (Yang M et al., NAR 2022; Wang Y et al., Nature Communications 2021; Ruan Z et al., Cell Mol Life Sci 2021). Our goal is to understand the role of PARPs and PARthanatos signaling regulation in health and diseases including neurodegeneration, ischemic stroke, or traumatic brain injury.
