About this position
Karolinska Institutet is offering a doctoral position in immunology focused on tuberculosis diagnostics and vaccine development. The project is based in the Department of Infectious Diseases and examines why some individuals control Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection without developing active disease.
The doctoral researcher will investigate adaptive immune responses associated with protection or disease. The goal is to identify biomarkers that can improve tuberculosis diagnostics and to contribute to the development of new vaccine candidates. The work connects fundamental immunological mechanisms with clinically relevant questions in infectious disease.
Research activities include preparing and organizing human samples for a biobank, ex vivo and in vitro cell culture, cell-biological and molecular studies of immune-cell function, and establishing and optimizing platforms for screening antibody and T-cell responses. The project also involves sequencing and expression analysis of B-cell and T-cell receptors, together with bioinformatic analysis of large datasets.
The research group studies immune responses to pathogens using experimental, clinical, epidemiological and multiplex approaches. Its studies draw on well-defined cohorts recruited in Sweden and through international collaboration. The group is located in the BioClinicum research laboratories at Karolinska University Hospital in Solna, placing the experimental work close to the clinical environment.
The doctoral student will work under the supervision of research group leader Christopher Sundling in a creative, international and interdisciplinary research setting involving collaboration with several research groups.
