Offer Description Our laboratory has one position available for a postdoctoral fellow in the area of inflammation and regenerative disease research. We are interested in mechanisms of immunoregulation and tissue adaptation to external challenges, with an emphasis on tissue long-lived cells such as stromal cells, and their crosstalk with immune cells, stem cells, and the vasculature. We perform mostly in vivo studies, combining lineage tracing and depletion models, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and unbiased approaches such as single-cell transcriptomics and epigenetics to characterize molecular and cellular mechanisms. Using these approaches, we previously identified an essential role for specific subsets of stromal cells in tissue repair and cancer immunity (Dulauroy et al., Nature Medicine 2012; Stzepourginski et al., PNAS 2017; Jacob et al., Cell Stem Cell 2022; Di Carlo et al., Nature Immunology 2023). Building on these findings, we aim at identifying novel mechanisms regulating tissue response to injury, with a focus on stromal immunoregulation and plasticity in organs with high remodeling capacity such as the skin, skeletal muscle, or adipose tissue.
