Genomic sciences and neurodegeneration
The Brás Lab leverages genomic technology to interrogate the genetic variations that contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and dementia with Lewy bodies. They collaborate closely with the Guerreiro Lab.

Job Openings
The Brás Lab is looking for motivated individuals with strong publication records to join our lab as postdoctoral fellows. Experience in computational biology, bioinformatics or statistical genetics is required to apply. Additional experience in human molecular genetics and genomics is desirable (but not necessary). Interested candidates should email Dr. Brás to inquire.
