Postdoctoral position in apoptotic signaling and regeneration after CNS injury: Projects include molecular and biochemical analyses of regeneration and apoptosis in knockout and transgenic mice after spinal cord injury and cortical axotomy. An experience in rodent surgery and a strong background in neuroanatomy are necessary. Will be trained in general molecular, biochemical, and cell biological techniques through the project. If interested, please send CV to yoon.84@osu.edu. The relevant publications are
