The research group of Fungal Immunology at the IMBB under the European Program ERC-2019-COG iMAC
FUN (864957), entitled “Dissecting novel mechanisms of iron regulation during macrophage-fungal
interplay.” Program Coordinator Prof. George Chamilos invites applications for two motivated Postdoctoral
Research Fellow to assist with the mechanism on the role of specialized autophagy pathways in antifungal
host defense of macrophages


About the lab
The lab is interested in identifying novel mechanisms regulating host-fungal interplay in phagocytes,
physiologically and in the disease setting.


About the project: The mechanism of recruitment of autophagic machinery in the fungal phagosome and the
functional role of this process are incompletely understood at the cellular and molecular level. In particular,
the role of single membrane LC3 lipidation on phagosome biogenesis and antifungal host defense, the fungal
molecules activating this pathway and the upstream regulators will be characterized with the use of
transgenic mice and advanced live imaging techniques.


Position Description:
A highly motivated and experienced researcher will investigate antifungal immunity in WD40 Atg16L1
knockout mice, focusing on functional responses on the phagosome biogenesis and membrane repair
during Aspergillus fumigatus infection. Another motivated researcher will study mechanisms of
immunometabolic regulation of the LAP pathway.
