Postdoctoral Scientist - Immunology/T and B Cell Research

Juhi Bagaitkar Lab

The Bagaitkar lab seeks highly motivated individuals to investigate how Nox2 NADPH oxidase regulates neutrophil responses in murine models of chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. Nox2-derived oxidants are essential in regulating the nature and magnitude of immune effector functions in various myeloid cells. The major focus of this project would be to mechanistically elucidate the role of Nox2 in lupus and chronic granulomatous disease taking advantage of various conditional knockout mice.

Candidates should have experience in these areas:

Strong background in immunology and experience in advanced cellular and molecular immunology techniques, including multicolor flow cytometry and other relevant techniques.

Prior knowledge and practical experience in murine models of inflammation and infection and conditional knockout mice.

Candidates should be capable of designing and carrying out high-level, complex research experiments independently.

Experience with T cell and B Cell research

Some bioinformatics or computational biology experience.
