Laboratory of Gnotobiology, Doly 183, 54922 Novy Hradek
| We offer a stable environment in a top-notch laboratory and the opportunity to work with a unique gnotobiotic mouse model in the field of microbiome-host immunity crosstalk. Using a combination of cell cultures, organoids models, mouse models, and sequencing analyses the candidate will study the impact of selected bacteria or gut, nasal and lung microbiome on epithelial barrier function and immune responses. Candidate will determine the consequences of microbiota changes, focusing on the microbiome dysbiosis and disruption of epithelial barrier function in a mouse model of food and airway allergy or rhinitis. In addition, well-characterized probiotic strains and their postbiotics will be evaluated as a novel strategy to preserve epithelial barrier integrity, restore microbial balance, and ultimately reduce susceptibility to allergic diseases. |
