The Hsieh Laboratory at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (CU-AMC (https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=4570627&targetURL=https://medschool.cuanschutz.edu/) ) is looking for a full-time postdoctoral fellow in the field of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) for an NIH-funded project (https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=4570627&targetURL=https://reporter.nih.gov/search/dHnTo_9UtkWZYWt7XLfwTg/project-details/10502936) focused on understanding COVID vaccine-elicited immune response in B cell immunodeficiency. We are a laboratory (https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=4570627&targetURL=https://medschool.cuanschutz.edu/immunology-and-microbiology/faculty/hsieh#ac-education-0) that studies 1) "classic autoimmunity" (i.e., lupus (https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=4570627&targetURL=https://www.lupusresearch.org/less-risk-and-greater-efficacy-in-pediatric-lupus-nephritis-treatment/) ) and 2) inborn errors of immunity (IEI) that present with autoimmunity/inflammation. Using primary human samples, cell lines, and CRISPR/Cas engineered mouse models of human disease, we identify and study novel IEI (https://apptrkr.com/get_redirect.php?id=4570627&targetURL=https://rupress.org/jem/article/216/6/1255/120359/A-novel-human-IL2RB-mutation-results-in-T-and-NK) to dissect the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern self-tolerance and anti-microbial immunity and provide critical insights for effective therapies in immunodeficiency, malignancy, and autoimmunity/inflammation.
