puestos de Tecnico De Laboratorio en España

IrsiCaixa, located in Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, has an opening in the T cell immunology and Vaccines (TIV) group for a highly motivated Research Technician.

The main objective of a successful candidate will be to perform T cell-based assays and -omics studies to analyze virus-specific T cell responses and their regulatory capacity. In addition, NK and B cell responses will be measured to depict their relationship with T cell regulation.

The main goal of this work is to identify T cell responses associated with better control of viral infections such as HIV and their translatability to immunotherapy development.

The work will be performed in the framework of research projects funded by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (Spain), National Institute of Health (USA), and HORIZON Europe (EU).

Under the direction of the TIV principal investigator and research associates, the applicant will carry out T and B cell assays needed to execute different ongoing projects, mainly:

• Spectral flow cytometry
• Cell sorting
• Sample Preparation for -omics studies of T cell responses, mainly scRNA/TCRseq
• ELISPOT
• ELISA
• Antibody neutralization assays

The work will be performed under BSL2 and BSL3 conditions to evaluate T, NK, and B cell responses during natural infection or after vaccination.
