The VIM (Virology and Molecular Immunology) laboratory is located at the INRA centre of Jouy - en - Josas (close to Paris) and provides strong expertise in virology, biochemistry, immunology, vaccinology,
dendritic cell biology, and genomics.
Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background in T cell immunology and
dendritic cell biology
Researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have made significant contributions to understanding
dendritic cell biology for more than 40 years.

Rockefeller, located on the east side of Manhattan, is where many of the most important advances in molecular
biology and cancer
biology were made, from Peyton Rous's discovery in 1911 of viruses that cause cancer, to Oswald Avery, Colin MacCleod, and Maclyn McCarty's discovery in 1944 that DNA is the hereditary material, to Ralph Steinman's discovery of
dendritic cells in the 1970s.
For example, the
biology of
dendritic cells is now being used to explore vaccines and therapies to prevent infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, allergy, cancer, and rejection of organ transplants.
Objective: To use innovative approaches of integrative
biology to unravel how lymphocytes process an array of molecular signals arising from contact with
dendritic cells, thereby better understanding the mechanisms that underlie immunity and how they are altered in disease states.
