The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) is a unique non-university research center which is dedicated to the subject dementia and all its areas, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. The center compasses the full spectrum of fundamental research through population sciences to health care research. The DZNE stands for excellence in research and science management, translation of scientific results into practice, interdisciplinarity and internationalization. It is a research center within the Helmholtz Organization of German research centers. With over 1,000 employees from 60 nations, spread over 10 sites, the DZNE is one of the national and international leading research centers in its research field. For the DZNE site in Ulm, we are inviting applications for a PhD student (f/m/d) in the group “Translational Protein Biochemistry” Code 6010/2020/3 The main task of the research group Translational Protein Biochemistry (Prof. Dr. Tobias M. Böckers) is to validate the expression of relevant proteins in human tissue. In particular, components of the development of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) diseases are of major interest. Furthermore, the research efforts under the keyword "Neurodegeneration as Synaptopathy" and the associated implications for new therapeutic approaches will be intensified. In addition, the role of proteins of postsynaptic density (PSD) in neurodegenerative diseases will be further investigated. For that purpose, patient derived induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) will be differentiated into motor neurons for further analysis. Crispr/Cas9 technique will be applied on hiPSC for gene editing mimicking patient mutations and for the generation of knockout hiPSC of new genes potentially involved in the development of ALS. • Active participation in experimental work, experimental design, data generation, data analyses, and interpretation of results • Prepare and write manuscripts for publication in international scientific journals • Oral presentation of results on local, national, and international conferences • Experimental work includes molecular biology, especially cell culture of induced pluripotent stem cells • A keen interest in molecular biology and working with induced pluripotent stem cells • Experience in molecular biology and handling of pluripotent stem cells is advantageous • Successful candidates have a master’s degree in molecular biology, neuroscience, biochemistry (or a master’s degree in a related field) • English language is a prerequisite We are looking for candidates who are open-minded, creative team-player, enthusiastic, have strong analytical skills, think critically, and with good social skills. • Working in an international team within a stimulating research environment and with very well equipped laboratories • An international environment characterized by a strong focus on science and research • A high potential for the individual development of our employees • Targeted personnel development • Employment, payment and social benefits are consistent with those at other research institutes

European Union will close its borders to all non-essential travel to fight coronavirus

Madrid (ITNTV) The European Union will close its borders to all non-essential travel as it attempts to contain the  ongoing spread of the coronavirus  on the continent. "The less travel, the more we can contain the virus," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday following a video conference between G7 leaders. She appeared confident that the European Council would sign off on the restriction in a Tuesday vote. The bloc's member states imposed aggressive measures on Monday,  days after the  World Health Organization (WHO) said Europe was at the epicenter of the pandemic. French President Emmanuel Macron declared "war" on the virus during a national address on Monday, banning all social events across the country -- including family gatherings. Macron said those who have gathered in public places in recent days have not been respecting previous measures to limit the outbreak's spread in France, which as of Monday had 5,380 con...

US uses encrypted app to connect with Iranians as coronavirus sweeps their country

Washington (ITNTV) The State Department is using social media to encourage Iranians to share information with the Trump administration -- both on an encrypted tip line and through an online survey -- about the  coronavirus pandemic  that is devastating the country. "This is Iran's Chernobyl," said one administration official of the outbreak, who described social media portals as a tool to bypass the Iranian regime and connect to the country's people. The US began encouraging Iranians to use the encrypted messaging app last year, when Iranian demonstrators took to the streets and US officials wanted to learn more about the regime's bloody crackdown. Now, with Covid-19 devastating Iran, the tip line has been reinvigorated, administration officials told CNN. This time, the goal is to collect information from Iranians, find ways to share that information when it is determined to be accurate and leverage the coronavirus in an effort to fortify a relationship ...

Virus creates world's longest passenger flight

(ITNTV) —  The aviation industry has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, with travelers across the world dealing with canceled flights and travel bans as they scramble to get home. But one unlikely aviation side effect is the creation of a new world aviation record. On March 14, French airline Air Tahiti Nui flew the longest ever scheduled passenger flight by distance -- transiting 9,765 miles across the world from Papeete, in Tahiti, French Polynesia, to Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport. This one off milestone was a direct consequence of the coronavirus-induced US travel restrictions. This route usually involves a scheduled stopover at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). But when an airplane stops over in the US, all passengers must alight the aircraft and proceed through US Customs and Border Protection before they're allowed to advance on with the next leg of their journey. Current restrictions rendered this part of the journey untenable, so instead, f...
