Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No
Offer Description The scientific activities within the scope of this project will involve designing and implementing experiments to measure the Ca2+ permeability of human NMDA-type glutamate receptors expressed in heterologous systems under different conditions and in the presence of various pharmacological modulators. The methods employed will include patch-clamp electrophysiological recording techniques combined with time-resolved digital fluorescence microscopy, allowing simultaneous monitoring of Ca2+ inward currents and changes in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration.
