Disease resolution and immunometabolism in severe malaria
il y a 3 semaines
- Highly motivated to study the immunology and metabolism of malaria, a major tropical infectious disease.
- Eligibility and suitable profile for application for a fellowship (e.g. FWO) is an important asset.
- Felasa B certificate to work with laboratory animals.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills in English.
- Team player, communicative, good practical lab skills, strong analytical mindset, independent and problem-solving attitude.
- Some expertise in bioinformatics is a plus.
Despite the availability of highly efficient and rapidly acting antimalarial drugs, the mortality of complicated malaria remains high (~20%). Therefore, we think that failure of disease resolution upon antimalarial treatment may be the cause of mortality in these patients. Since the mechanisms of disease resolution in malaria are not well understood, we intend to study these mechanisms with a recently developed mouse model and with a clinical study in Africa. Our recent lung single cell transcriptomics study (PLoS Pathog. 2024, 20(1):e1011929) revealed interesting targets, and we plan further mechanistic characterization of critical pathways, including the role of immunometabolic pathways and the proteolytic inactivation of inflammatory chemokines.
- Excellent daily guidance and training.
- Opportunities to participate in international collaborations and national and international conferences.
- An interdisciplinary environment with access to state-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure.
