Master by Research / PhD Opportunity in Immunology and Biochemistry: Improving the Formation of Protective Immunity Against Human Viruses University of Melbourne in Australia

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne in the Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology , Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, located at the Bio21 Molecular Science and Biotechnology Institute in Australia. The project, “Regulation of complement by MHC Class II molecules,” explores the molecular mechanisms behind MHC II-C3 complex formation and how C3 levels are regulated through ubiquitination. The work aims to identify which complement activation pathways ...

Research Degree Opportunity at the University of Melbourne in trogocytosis , immunology , biochemistry , and cell biology . This project investigates how Marginal Zone B cells and Dendritic Cells communicate through a newly discovered mechanism involving Complement C3 and MHC class II molecules, and how excessive trogocytosis can lead to DC death (trogoptosis). The work is offered through the Biochemistry and Pharmacology area in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, with resea...
