Goals/Outcomes

To provide insights in the molecular and cellular neuroimmune mechanisms of tissue repair and regeneration, and the development of therapies for neuropathies and degenerative diseases.

About the Role

The postdoctoral fellow will study the interaction between the immune and the nervous system, in the context of injury and repair at the barrier tissues. More particularly, they will try to understand the molecular and cellular components of the neuroimmune system that regulate injury in the nasal cavity and the gut. These studies will pave the way to develop novel and precise therapies for neuropathies and degenerative diseases, as well as new approaches for vaccines for infections.
