Postdoc Advertisement

The Philippe Pierre's lab at Shanghai Institute of Immunology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine is recruiting some postdocs (Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.) with immunology background and expertise to work at the forefront of the field of Immunology.

Please visit our lab website (http://sii.shsmu.edu.cn/En/DetailMemberInfo3.php?pid=5&cid=32&num=32&id=74) for details.

Main achievements of the Group:

• Demonstration of DALIS function and linking antigen processing with autophagy. Demonstration that autophagy is regulated differently by TLR stimulation and that it consumes many substrates of the proteasome, therefore influencing antigen processing and presentation in different immune environments.

• Elucidation of MHC class I and II traffic in antigen presenting cells. Demonstration of the redistribution of MHC II molecules from late endosomal compartments to the cell surface upon LPS stimulation of dendritic cells. Study of MARCH E3 ubiquitin ligases during this process.

• Dissemination of a novel non-radioactive technology to monitor protein synthesis and demonstration of the existence of nuclear protein synthesis.

• Demonstration of the importance for the immune response of different molecules (GADD34 and eIF2a) known to participate in the integrated stress pathways.

• Demonstration of the role of MARCH ubiquitin ligase in the regulation of MHC transport and different immunereceptors in DCs.
