Moira Paroni

Research opportunity in microbiology , immunology , and cell biology at the University of Milan . The laboratory of Moira Paroni studies the activation and generation of pathogenic Th17 cells in response to bacterial pathogens. The project combines immunology , flow cytometry , microbiology , and molecular biology , with transcriptomic and molecular analyses plus functional studies using human primary cells and complex co-culture models. The selected candidate will work on the genetic manipulation and functional characterization of bacterial pathogens and their interaction with human primary immune cells. This is a strong fit for a recent graduate interested in host-pathogen interactions, bacterial infection, and immune response mechanisms. The position is supported by a 1-year research fellowship for promising young researchers, structured as 6 months + 6 months , and is intended as a training period in preparation for a subsequent 3-year PhD position . Applicants should have a background in cell biology and immunology ; prior hands-on experience in microbiology is welcome. Strong motivation, commitment, and willingness to learn are essential. To apply, send a CV and cover letter describing your research experience, scientific interests, and motivation to [email protected] .
