About Team TAP
The objective of the group New Strategies to Target Autoreactive Plasma Cells (TAP), led by Dr. Eleonora Melzi, is to uncover the mechanisms underlying the development and persistence of autoreactive plasma cells and their pathogenic autoantibodies. By employing a combination of state-of-the-art single-cell transcriptomic and high-throughput antibody analysis, we aim to identify new biomarkers of B cell autoreactivity. Ultimately, our goal is to define novel therapeutic strategies specifically targeting autoreactive plasma cells, thus advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of autoimmune diseases.

The ideal candidate would have a Ph D degree in Immunology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field, and a strong interest in B cell immunology and antibody discovery. In this role, you will contribute to the development of innovative technologies for the characterization of plasma cells in the contexts of various neurological autoimmune disorders.

  • Experience in molecular biology techniques (e.g., cloning, vector design, plasmid construction, q PCR, Western blot, etc.)
  • Expertise in recombinant protein design and expression using mammalian cell systems
  • Experience with antibody expression, purification, and characterization
  • Independent thinking with strong problem-solving skills
  • Interest in mentoring junior staff members and experience working in interdisciplinary teams
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills in English
Additional preferred skills
A strong background in one of the following research areas will be a plus:
  • Immunology (including multi-parameter flow cytometry, ELISA, and ELISpot)
  • Neurological autoimmune diseases
  • Single-cell sequencing technologies
  • Bioinformatics
Our offer
