A postdoctoral research fellowship is available in the Levy Lab within in the Precision Vaccine Program (PVP), Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Prof. Ofer Levy is the Program Director. The position will focus on the human immunity project described below and will be co-mentored by Dr. Levy and Dr. Guzman Sanchez-Schmitz, expert in tissue engineering and Instructor at Harvard Medical School . Our overarching goals are to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying distinct immune responses of vulnerable human populations (e.g., the young, elderly or immunocompromised) and apply discoveries to vaccine development. Our approach combines age- and species-specific in vitro modeling of human immunity with a focus on functional, biochemical and systems immunology readouts in relevant in vitro and in vivo model systems.
