Cincinnati Childrenn's Hospital Medical Center Postdoctoral Position

Postdoctoral Positions for Studying Allergic Disorders

The Division of Allergy and Immunology, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center has openings for postdoctoral fellows to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the susceptibility to allergic disorders in Dr. Yui-Hsi Wang’s Laboratory. Highlights of this research program have included: (a) IL-17-TH2 memory/effector cells contribute to chronic allergic inflammation in both humans and mouse (J. Exp. Med. 2010, 207(11):2479); (b) Multi-functional IL-9-producing mucosal mast cells (MMC9s) drive the anaphylactic response to ingested food antigens (Immuntiy, 2015, 43:1-15 ); (c) A concerted interaction between CD4+TH2 cells and type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) promotes eosinophilic asthma (J. Immunol. 2015, 194(8): 3583-93); (d) IL-25/IL-13 axis and CD4+TH2/ILC2 interactions promote IgE-mediated food allergy (J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2015. In Press). Novel areas in the lab include: (i) Epigenetic and molecular programs of MMC9 development and !
function; (ii) Type-2 innate (ILC2s and MMC9s) and adaptive (CD4+TH2 and induced Treg cells) immunity in asthma, food allergy, and eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). Advanced immunologic approaches, animal models, and defined human tissue biopsies are employed in these studies.
The Division is a high-energy, dynamic, and interactive environment that is interested in recruiting self-motivated individuals with the drive to succeed and the desire to be competitive at the international level. Candidates with a strong background in molecular biology and immunology are encouraged to apply. Salary is competitive with an attractive benefits package that includes family health insurance, etc. For consideration, please send CV and contact information to Dr. Wang at yui_hsi.wang@cchmc.org.
