PhD Scholarship: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and long COVID

3 months ago


Southport, Australia Griffith University Full time
Job Description

The primary focus of this role is to elucidate the role of transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels in the pathophysiology of ME/CFS and long COVID and as a potential pharmacotherapeutic target for treatment. Further, the NCNED will embark on a clinical trial to assess the efficacy of repurposed treatments on TRP ion channel function. This role will also involve the collection of clinical data to determine therapeutic effects.

This project aims to utilise a multi-disciplinary approach to investigate both immunological and ion channel disturbances. This project will employ novel laboratory approaches, such as patch clamp electrophysiology, microscopy and flow cytometry, in addition to analysis and collection of epidemiological data.
