Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Tilburgs) Maternal-Fetal Tolerance.
Cincinnati Children's Office of Academic Affairs and Career Development, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, 45208
The Tilburgs Lab is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern maternal‑fetal tolerance during healthy human pregnancy and pregnancy complications. Our research focuses on how interactions between trophoblasts and maternal immune cells shape immune adaptation at the maternal‑fetal interface, and how disruptions in these interactions contribute to placental inflammation and infection. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in immunology and/or placental biology, and a passion for translational research in reproductive immunology. Experience with high‑dimensional flow cytometry, cell sorting, human tissue culture, molecular biology techniques, genome editing, and/or computational analysis is highly desirable.
