There are currently one postdoctoral research assistant and two students working in this area at present and we are seeking to appoint another PDRA to be in post before autumn 2006. This student will work within this group of people to add to our efforts to provide structural understandings of the innate immune system and its interactions with pathogens. Our recent work in this area is described elsewhere on this site and in our publications. Please contact Susan if you are interested in applying for this position.
