We are using neonatal mice from immunocompetent as well as various transgenic backgrounds to study the immune responses to vaccines in early age. The analysis of immune response involves detailed investigation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling APC function as well as the development of follicular helper T (Tfh) cells and germinal center B cells. The candidate will participate in experimental design, immunization and analyzing cellular and molecular responses to vaccines in addition to writing manuscripts and presenting her/his work in national and international meetings.
