Post-doctoral position in Mucosal Immunology and Autoimmunity

A post-doctoral position is available to study the role of gut mucosa-microbiota interaction in autoimmunity and inflammation. Project involves studies using novel mouse models and human samples to understand the impacts of innate immune-receptor and dietary-factor interactions with gut microbiota on immune regulation, inflammation and autoimmune onset, and therapeutic manipulation of these interactions. Studies will involve use of conventional and high-throughput proteomics and metabolomics approaches, and genetically modified and germ-free mouse models. Other projects include development of novel cellular therapies and humanized in vitro and in vivo systems for autoimmune diseases.
