Job Description
The Post-doc position involves contributing to deciphering genetic and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of genes encoding antimicrobial peptides in human intestinal epithelial cells. You will play a key role in developing a novel therapeutic strategy to combat bacterial resistance to antibiotics by modulating human genes encoding antimicrobial peptides. This role is part of the MaxImmun European consortium focusing on preventing and treating mucosal infections.
Activities:
- Study the regulation of genes encoding antimicrobial peptides
- Characterize the mechanism of action of immunostimulatory molecules
- Investigate pathways of cellular signaling and gene expression regulation
