Individual will conduct molecular immunological research in the areas of cellular and humoral immunity. These include mechanisms underlying TLR signaling, FoxP3+Treg cell generation, Th1/Th2 skewing and NK cell function. Studies also extend to stem cell differentiation. Experiments will exploit mouse models and a large range of unique knockouts. Work is not only relevant to immunity but also cancer and control of cell growth.
Animal handling, molecular biology, immunology, and intracellular signaling experience is preferred but depending on long range goals and dedicated career development toward medical science, training can be provided.
