The intestinal tissue is continuously exposed to large amounts of microbe and foodderived molecules that can stimulate immune responses. We study how the intestine generates protective responses against invading pathogens (resistance) while absorbing beneficial microbe and foodderived molecules (tolerance). We are interested in how the epithelium, immune system and enteric nervous system communicate to respond to these different stimuli. Several cellular and molecular mechanisms exist to ensure robust tolerance induction in the mucosal surfaces, and disruption of such processes often leads to severe chronic inflammatory pathologies such as colitis, Celiac disease and food allergies, and colorectal cancer. We seek to understand how neuroimmune communication facilitates differentiation of responses against innocuous antigens vs pathogens and how this sensation can alter immunological, physiological and behavioral responses particularly in the context of type 2 immunity.
Key Objectives:
We are seeking motivated and detail-oriented individual to join our research team as a Research Assistant. As a key member of our team, you will play a crucial role in supporting our research and contributing to the understanding of the development and function of the intestinal immune system. Specific projects focus on dissecting the immune responses against gut microbiota, food and cancer, understanding both genetic and environmental drivers of intestinal immune phenotypes, and understanding neuroimmune communication in the context of type 2 immune responses such as helminth infection. The Research Assistant will use mouse models to assess gut immune cells by flow cytometry and RNA-sequencing and will be responsible for animal colony maintenance. Other technical responsibilities may include bacterial and mammalian cell culture (including organoid cultures), ELISA, and immunoblotting, molecular biology techniques such as cloning, RNA/DNA extractions, PCR and single-cell PCRs and imaging techniques including brightfield, confocal, and 2-photon intravital imaging.
