POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER_IMMUNOPATHOLOGY RESEARCH GROUP

The Immunopathology research group is within the Immunology Service of the Germans Trias Hospital.
It is made up of an experienced interdisciplinary team that is highly motivated to carry out translational research and give support to clinical teams who are developing their own research projects to examine the mechanisms of the immune response.
The team is made up of researchers, pre-doctoral researchers and technicians who carry out prestigious research projects in the national and international arenas.
The laboratory is one of 14 centres of European excellence recognized by the Federation of Clinical Immunological Societies (FOCIS).
Since it is a Consolidated Group as recognized by the Agency for Management of University and Research Grants of the Generalitat of Catalonia.
The current project will be ascribed to the Neuroimmunology team.
Since the Neuroimmunology team has been developing new immune tolerance-inducing therapies, and recently finished a Phase I clinical trial with tolerogenic dendritic cells (VitD3tolDC) in multiple sclerosis patients that showed safety and feasibility of the approach.
It coordinated a European network consisting of the most important groups in the field of tolerogenic cellular therapies for autoimmunity, and transplants in the field (European Action COST BM-AFACTT) (www.
ost.
u).
We are looking for a  highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher to work on a project entitled.
“Advanced Antigen-Specific Dendritic cells based therapy to re-establish tolerance in immune-mediated diseases” (IMMUTOL), funded by the HORIZON-HLTH--DISEASE- Program.
This project aims to generate a more powerful second generation engineered VitD3tolDC product for its translation to the clinic.
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES The postdocoral researcher will participate in the bulk RNAseq, methylation and single cell RNAseq analysis of the therapeutic effect of engineered tolerogenic dendritic cells in an experimental model of multiple sclerosis (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis -EAE-).
