Vacancy of Senior Research Fellows in the ICMR Funded Research Project
Post: Senior Research Fellowship
No. of Vacancy: One
Duration: Up to 30 June 2024
Funding Agency: Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)
Project Title: Elucidation of neurodegenerative tauopathies through MARK4 inhibitors: Design and
evaluation of MARK4 inhibitors using insilico and invitro approaches and investigation
of their role to cure hyper phosphorylation of tau proteins
Project Description: Interested candidates are welcome to apply for SRF for a comprehensive drug
discovery project aimed to discover potential kinase inhibitors. A strong connection exists between
phosphorylation and tau pathology has laid the foundation to hunt for tau kinase inhibitors as potential
therapeutics. We believe that the MARK4 is one of the most promising kinases that should be targeted
as it initiate tau phosphorylation cascade. In this project we aimed to identify potent kinase inhibitors.
The selected mixture of the extract will be further tested that how efficiently it could attenuate hyperphosphorylation of tau, and thus clears the tau mediated aggregates indifferent neuronal human cell
lines. Our integrated approach will be key in identifying novel kinase inhibitors for therapeutic
management of MARK4-related tauopathies, Alzheimer disease, and neuro-inflammation.
Essential Qualification: M. Sc. in any stream of Biological Science with at least 55% marks and
Two Years of research experience. Preference will be given to NET/GATE qualifiers.
Desirable for SRF: Applicant with expertise in Protein Purification and Characterisation, Molecular
Biology/Cell Biology/Structural Biology/Bioinformatics (especially MD simulation) and good
command in oral and written communication skills in English will be given preference.
How to apply: Please submit a cover letter, attached application form, CV, and supporting documents
combined into a single PDF file and also fill the attached form and send by e-mail
to aislam@jmi.ac.in on or before April 20, 2023.
