Research Associate
University of Bristol
The roleAn enthusiastic and highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate is required to add their expertise to a team investigating immunological mechanisms that link sight-threatening uveitis and inflammatory arthritis. We have identified cytokine-regulated mechanisms that determine the pathogenic potential of T helper cells that orchestrate tissue damage in uveitis and arthritis. The project will combine in vivo models of autoimmune uveitis and inflammatory arthritis, alongside in vitro T cell assays, to test key mechanisms as determinants of T cell-mediated pathology. Pre-clinical studies will also test the therapeutic potential of these immune mechanisms in in vivo models and in samples from patients with these conditions.The post is funded for 3 years in the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and is available from June 2024.What will you be doing?
