Fayetteville State University

About Us The GSTT Asthma Service based at Guy’s Hospital is home to the largest cohort of severe asthma and EGPA patients receiving biologic therapies in the UK offering a unique opportunity to take part in translational research in these diseases. The Jackson Lab within the Peter Gorer Department of Immunobiology, SIMS is focussed on (i) exploring the role of eosinophilic and T2 inflammation in asthma and related conditions both in the stable state and during exacerbation (ii) understanding the mechanisms that underpin the heterogeneity in response to anti-T2 therapies in asthma and conditions including EGPA and eosinophilic pneumonia. Over the last 5 years the Jackson Lab has obtained over £5m in grant funding and published over 50 original research manuscripts About the role This role is for a scientist who has obtained a PhD and has already accumulated some post-doctoral experience in the field of type 2 immunity as applied to asthma and related upper and lower airway conditions. The applicant should have a thorough understanding of respiratory immunology and particularly eosinophilic and T2 immune pathways including mast cell, Th2, ILC2 and epithelial related processes in asthma. It is expected that the scientist has first-hand experience of processing and analysing airway samples including cell culture. The successful candidate will have a thorough understanding of respiratory immunology and particularly eosinophilic and T2 immune pathways in diseases such as asthma. The scientist should have first-hand experience of processing and analysing airway samples including cell culture.
