Project Officer/PhD students (Singapore)

Positions open for 1 Project-officer and 1-2 PhD students in the Laboratory of Rupshi Mitra, Assistant Professor in School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University.

We are using animal models to understand the fundamental biology of resilience and gene therapy techniques to protect against stress-disorders. Details of our research can be found at
