Postdoctoral fellow on scholarship in Immunogenetics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Research group
The research group of Professor Qiang Pan-Hammarström conducts research on several aspects of human immunology with a strong focus on developmental immunology, immunotherapy and pathologies associated with the immune system. Qiang Pan-Hammarström’s research group: https://ki.se/en/bionut/research-group-qiang-pan-hammarstrom

Duties
The projects within Dr. Pan-Hammarström’s group focus on the molecular mechanism of immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR), genetics of primary immunodeficiency and B cell lymphomagenesis. The available postdoctoral position deal with:

1). Identification of new forms of primary immunodeficiency through linkage analysis and exome sequencing, with focus on late B cell deficiencies.
2). Functional characterization of patients with defects in late B cell development. This may involve using iPSC as models to study B cell development in healthy individuals and in patients with primary immunodeficiency.
3). The fellow is expected to assume a major role in the writing of scientific publications and grant applications.
