description du poste

Doctoral Degree Position in Biomedical Science, KU Leuven, BelgiumInflammation is a process that is primarily known as a defence mechanism against infections and injuries. Molecular signatures associated with microbes or tissue damage are sensed by local cells which react by secreting several types of mediators of inflammation such as proteases. These mediators convey chemotactic signals and recruit leukocytes, which contribute to pathogen killing, phagocytosis, activation of adaptive immune responses and healing. Persistent or heightened inflammation leads to inflammatory diseases. Therefore, a finely balanced inflammatory response is essential, culminating in the resolution of inflammation.Qualifications A Master degree in biomedical sciences, bioscience engineering, biochemistry, biology or other relevant disciplineA passion for immunology and a strong background in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or related fieldsYou are motivated to contribute to education within the bachelor’s programs in biomedical sciences and medicine, in particular the courses Biostatistics and ImmunologyYou are willing to work with patient samples and animal models #J-18808-Ljbffr
