About The Position
A post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Adriana Mantegazza, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Thomas Jefferson University. The laboratory investigates how solute transport, mediated by solute carriers (SLCs) in dendritic cells, regulates anti-microbial immune responses, both in vitro and in vivo. The post-doctoral fellow will study how inflammasome activity and antigen presentation are regulated by solute transport, using a combination of biochemical, cell biological and immunological assays in wild-type and genetically modified mice.
