Postdoctoral Researcher in Cell and Vascular Biology, Centre of Excellence in Immune (IMMENs)

The newly established Finnish Centre of Excellence in Immune – Endothelial Interfaces (IMMENs) is composed of research groups at the University of Helsinki and Åbo Akademi University. Here, the IMMENs affiliated research group of Dr. Vaahtomeri, at the University of Helsinki, invites applications for a fixed‑term position of Postdoctoral Researcher.

Scientific context

IMMENs investigates the role of lymphatic vessel endothelium in controlling immune responses. Current evidence shows that much of immune regulation occurs locally at the site of inflammation. Recent studies have revealed important crosstalk between lymphatic endothelium and immune cells, resulting in phenotypic changes that control immune cell trafficking, fate and function. IMMENs will develop novel experimental approaches to uncover the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of lymphatic endothel...
