The CRC is involved in the COVIMUNE project, dedicated to studying the immune crosstalk during Covid19 infection. A post-doc position is open for 1 year, shared by CRC and Pasteur Institute, to work on this project. Deadline for application: July 15, 2020
Abstract of the project: In this project, we will study the HLA-viral antigen interaction influencing the polarization of CD4 T cells after SARC-CoV-2 infection. We will study the molecular pathways involved and explore the role of regulatory T cells in the modulation of this immune response. In addition, we will determine the polarization of T cells in diabetic patients, which is one of the risk factors for severe COVID-19.
The project Covimune has received funding from the French National Funding Agency ANR.
