Scholarship Description: 
They
are searching for outstanding 2 postdoctoral candidates to carry out
the following research supported by the TEAM project from the Foundation
for Polish Science (FNP) co-financed from the European Union, Regional
Development Fund in 2012-2015. Recent studies, including those from the
Kaczmarek laboratory, have shown pivotal role of MMP-9, extra
synaptically released protease acting on local extracellular matrix, in
neuronal plasticity underlying physiological and pathological
information processing and storage by the brain.
