PhD and Postdoc Positions in Immune Cell Migration and Regionalization at Libera Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele

The De Giovanni Lab at Libera Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele in Milan, Italy, is seeking passionate pre-doctoral (PhD) and postdoctoral researchers to join their team. The lab specializes in immune cell migration and regionalization, with a strong focus on the intersection of molecular biology, tumor immunology, host-pathogen interactions, and spatial transcriptomics. Research projects aim to unravel the complex roles of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), integrins, and other molecular factors that govern immune cell migration and immune regionalization at steady-state or during disease, with particular emphasis on mucosal and tumor-associated immune cells. The San Raffaele Scientific Institute provides a collaborative environment with access to advanced research facilities, including microscopy, flow cytometry, gene editing, and pre-clinical imaging. The campus hosts over 1,200 scientists across more than 100 research labs, offering a vibrant scientific community and comprehensive support for research activities. Applicants should be enthusiastic about research in molecular biology, immunology, or related fields. To apply, candidates must send a CV and a motivation email to Dr. Marco De Giovanni, explaining their interest in joining the lab. Only applications received by email will be considered. No specific deadline is mentioned, and funding details are not provided in the announcement. Key research areas include immune cell migration, regionalization, tumor immunology, host-pathogen interactions, and the study of GPCRs and integrins. The lab's work is supported by a collaborative and resource-rich environment, making it an excellent opportunity for early-career researchers interested in cutting-edge immunological research.
