We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the McCarthy lab.
About the Research
GBS diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. The molecular basis and infection processes of these diseases remain to be fully determined. We strive to decipher the molecular processes that drive GBS to cause adult invasive, principally the mechanisms utilised to evade and/or manipulate the immune responses.
What you will be doing
You will be performing cutting edge research combining molecular, microbiological, cellular and tissue-infection based approaches to contribute to an advanced understanding of invasive GBS diseases. You will be based in our group in the Centre for Bacterial Resistance Biology (CBRB), and in the Section of Molecular Microbiology within the Department of Infectious Diseases (DoID) at Imperial College London. You research will address questions on the functional properties on the interactions of GBS with human inhibitory receptors, and specifically how this may regulate anti-bacterial immune responses and promote bacterial infection.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with research interests in bacterial infection biology. Applicants must demonstrate as part of their application, how they meet the essential criteria required of the post. The essential and desirable criteria are in the Imperial advert for the job.
