Description

We are investigating on the mechanisms of susceptibility to S. Aureus infection in mice deficient for selected Transcription factors, which result in impaired dendritic cell function. The project will require the development of multiple technologies ranging from in vitro to in vivo techniques, including cell culture, imaging /microscopy, multicolor-Flowcytometry, in vivo infectious models in mice, Sequencing. A close collaboration with other departments is foreseen in particular with the Laboratory of Dr. Belkaid (NIAID).
