Reposted by begüm aydınRoham Parsa @rohamparsa.bsky.social · 28/11/2024I’m looking for a postdoc to join my group here at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub NY! This position offers the chance to delve deeply into the dynamic and functional behavior of T cells, exploring how their fate decisions shape immune responses in health and disease. More information at parsalab.scienceparsalab.scienceThe Parsa Laboratory at CZ Biohub New YorkThe Parsa laboratory investigates the functional and clonal dynamics of T cells during various immune responses. Using innovative genetic approaches, we will precisely track and analyze the behavior of polyclonal perturbation-specific T cells over time and space. We seek to uncover the rules governing the development of effector and memory T cells, ultimately enhancing our understanding of adaptive immunity and advancing therapies for various diseases, including cancer and autoimmunity. 193
