The project is funded by the UK Multiple Sclerosis Society, initially for 2 years with the possibility of a renewal for a further 3 years.

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.
