Sample Scholarship Essays These vesicles, which have different origins and objectives defined, the underlying basis functions as neuronal communication by the rapid release of neurotransmitters in the synapses. They can also be used in retrograde transport, the implementation of several key factors for the survival of the synapse back to the cell body.
ARC and NHMRC funding Sample Scholarship Essays to understand our laboratory by the use of new fluorescent probes and the state of the art microscopy of living cells in combination with mass spectrometry and biochemistry, the molecular mechanisms of neuronal membrane trafficking.
3 PhD scholarships are being offered:
- Role of autophagic trafficking in health and neurodegenerative disease
- Neuronal communication: role of phosphoinositides in priming secretory vesicles
- The role of cholesterol trafficking and homeostasis in neurons: importance in synaptic activity and vesicular transport in health and Alzheimer's disease.
The Sample Scholarship Essays candidates will have a 1st Class Honours or equivalent and should be eligible for APA or equivalent. Basic expertise in cell culture, transfection and microscopy is required. Experience in biochemistry (western blotting, pull down etc…) would be helpful.
