Available now, the role holder will work under the direction of Prof Maria Grazia Spillantini on a project aimed at understanding the role that dysfunction and aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau plays in axonal degeneration following primary demyelination, as that present in progressive MS, and how this can be affected by myelin regeneration.
