Postdoctoral Fellow, Inflammatory Signaling, Vucic Lab

A Postdoctoral fellow position is available for a highly motivated and independent candidate to join the laboratory of Dr. Domagoj Vucic in the Department of Immunology Discovery at Genentech. Vucic lab works on inflammatory signaling pathways with the aim of identifying novel targets in the field of inflammatory diseases. This position will focus on TNF family signaling, particularly on TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) and TL1A (TNF-like ligand 1A). Several anti-TL1A antibodies have shown remarkable efficacy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) clinical trials but mechanistic details of TL1A mediated signaling are not fully understood. This postdoctoral position will provide an opportunity to contribute to target discovery and mechanistic examination of TL1A and TNF regulated pathways using in vitro and in vivo experiments related to molecular, cellular and inflammatory biology. Candidates familiar with TNF family signaling and innate immunity are especially encouraged to apply.
