Phd Position “impact of Tonic Microbial Exposure
vor 7 Monaten
The human body is home to myriad microbes which are known to play crucial roles in health and disease. These microbes - collectively referred to as the microbiome - constantly produce antigens, metabolites and other cues, which are sensed by the immune system. T cell lymphocytes therein represent one of the bodies most prominent tools to detect and deal with foreign antigens.
At mucosal barrier sites, anti-microbial T cells are constantly exposed to their putative cognate antigens resulting in theory in a situation of constant stimulation. This is somewhat reminiscent of the situation encountered during chronic viral infections and cancer, where constant antigen exposure results in a dysfunctional state known as T cell exhaustion. Preliminary data from our group indicated the expression of exhaustion-associated molecules in mucosal T cells, however it is not clear how these impact on the cells and what kind of consequences this has for the functional properties of the affected cells.
_in vitro_ and
_in vivo_ assays and a variety of methods including TCR-transgenic mouse models, genetically modified commensal bacteria, flow cytometry and single-cell RNA-sequencing including bioinformatic analyses. A particular focus will be on the assessment of markers of T cells exhaustion in anti-microbial T cells and the resulting impact on protective immunity.
We are offering excellent research conditions and a friendly and highly collaborative working atmosphere as part of a well-established and successful research group. Within the framework of the TUM graduate school many possibilities exist to further extend your qualifications through educational programs.
