in the field of Trauma and Immunoregulation to be filled immediately.
The topic to be investigated is:
“The role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in post-traumatic and post-septic immune responses”
The project is part of the Collaborative Research Center “Danger Response, Disturbance Factors and Regenerative Potential after Acute Trauma” (SFB 1149) of Ulm University. Our laboratory is interested in the immunoregulatory functions of MDSCs, a population of immature myeloid cells regulating innate and adaptive immune responses (Messmann et al., Blood 2015, 126:1138; Hüsecken et al. Sci. Rep., 2017, 7:12808; Kustermann et al., Sci Rep., 2019, 9:7992; Kustermann et al., J Innate Immun., 2022, 10:1). The project will elucidate, on cellular and molecular levels, if and how MDSCs change the immune response after traumatic injuries and sepsis, utilizing experimental mouse models, as well as samples from human patients. Ultimately, the aim is to determine whether interference with MDSC development is a possible therapeutic option to modulate immune responses after trauma induction.
