The Division of Infectious Diseases and International Medicine seeks an enthusiastic candidate with a passion for biomedical science and human health to join a newly founded research group. The overall focus of our research is to improve understanding of the key mechanisms of antigenicity and protective immunity in tuberculosis (TB). We are striving to define the critical determinants of adaptive immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterial pathogen responsible for TB, the most common infectious cause of death in the world. Using innovative techniques in mycobacterial genetics and cellular immunology, we aim to better characterize mammalian adaptive immune responses in this devastating infection. Our goal is to advance the ongoing effort to develop an effective new vaccine against TB.
