Organization OverviewThe Laboratory of Molecular Genetics and Immunology is focused on dissecting the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the generation of antibody specificity and the translation of that specificity into cellular responses. Our work seeks to identify the genetic components that initiate B cell activation upon antigenic challenge,the controls that maintain tolerance both centrally and in the periphery,and the mechanisms that govern the coupling of antibody specificity to effector cell response. OverviewThe research assistant will support research conducted at the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics and Immunology, working in projects that aim to characterize the Fc domain heterogeneity of IgG antibodies and the regulation of
