Postdoctoral Researcher in Cell Biology and Immunology

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description As part of the PEPR-MIE "UNFIRE" project, the postdoctoral researcher will investigate how plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and various candidate modulators influence antiviral and inflammatory responses in a human airway epithelium (HAE) model infected with respiratory viruses. The project will be carried out within the Dendritic Cell Biology in CIML ( Centre d’Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy) , a multidisciplinary environment combining immunology, cellular virology, and systems biology. The successful candidate will independently conduct advanced experimental approaches aimed at characterizing type I and type III interferon (IFN-I/III)-dependent mechanisms involved in protective or harmful antiviral responses within the human respiratory epithelium.
