"Postdoctoral Fellow- MCG Immunology Center of Georgia"

We are actively seeking a motivated, self-driven, and collaborative team member to join our research group. Our research efforts encompass both basic and translational immunology, aimed at addressing fundamental questions regarding T cell development and function including T-T cell communication. Our studies involve the use of samples from healthy individuals as well as patients, and we utilize pre-clinical experimental animal models. To decipher these complex mechanisms, we intend to employ cutting-edge technologies including organoids, flow cytometry, transcriptomic single cell analyses, and CRISPR/Cas9 approaches.
