We are inviting applications from candidates for one project fellow and one postdoctoral fellow position in a UK-MRC funded project, to work in the area of host pathogen interactions and antimicrobial resistance. This is a collaborative project between UK and India. The project is initially for two years and has the possibility of extension in the third year.

Profile

Our laboratory works on innate immune response and host pathogen interactions in microbial keratitis (corneal infection). For last few years our laboratory is working on role of antimicrobial peptides to combat pathogens and both the projects involve identification of antimicrobial peptides expressed in patients, deciphering the mechanism of action of various novel peptides, and cell signaling pathways activated by these peptides. The project includes various cell biology and immunology techniques like cell culture, real time PCR, confocal microscopy to name a few.
