Amazing postdoctoral opportunity to study host mycobacterium tuberculosis interaction
The Behar lab is looking for postdoctoral trainees - if you are interested in studying host immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and/or development of better TB vaccines, and want to do so in a fun and supportive lab environment, consider applying! Please RT.

Looking for a postdoc position? The Behar lab is recruiting! I can’t really think of a better place to learn about Tb immune responses, or someone better to learn from! He even managed to teach me 🤣

Congratulations to Rocky Lai who re-discovered the importance of LFA-1 for T cell recruitment to the lung during tuberculosis.
Collaborative work by @TassieClare @SassettiLab and @BeharLab (and many more not on twitter) on collaborative cross mice!! mbio.asm.org/content/10/6/e0…
