Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Professor Rahul Roychoudhuri . The project investigates how regulatory T (Treg) cells control immune responses and how their antigen specificity shapes immune suppression and immune tolerance. Using TCR-transgenic mouse models , the research will directly test models of antigen-specific suppression and explore the mechanisms by which Tregs suppress conventional T cells. This is an interdi...
