Research Fellow at UCL: Join the UCL Division of Infection and Immunity as a Research Fellow to contribute to a project investigating the responses of self-reactive T cells to encounters with self-antigens. This exciting opportunity involves in vivo models and techniques to explore the influence of costimulatory pathways on the fate trajectories of self-reactive T cells, with a focus on the CD28/CTLA-4 pathway. The project aims to unravel the signals controlling these responses and their implications for autoimmune disease development.
