Job Description:

About the role:

Breastfeeding is associated with a variety of positive health outcomes in children and is recommended exclusively for the first 6 months of life. However, 50-70% of infants in the U.S. are formula-fed, a period of time that is a critical window for a developing child to have optimal immune health and in turn have long-term positive health outcomes. Clinical studies and animal model data suggest that neonatal diet (human milk or formula) has a strong association with microbiota composition early in life. However, major knowledge gaps remain: (1) Do the microbiota alone shape immune system development in infants? (2) What are the molecular signals involved in microbiota-host communication?  In order to address these questions, we will leverage clinical study (Happy Tummies) samples to measure vaccine response and short-chain fatty acids production from infants. In parallel, we will be using an infant microbiota transplanted gnotobiotic mouse model to determine the mechanistic links and the effects of early infant gut microbiota on immune health. These studies will provide new insights into factors and mechanisms influencing vaccine response with the ultimate goal to develop effective prevention strategies to promote healthy development during this critical developmental stage.

 

Qualifications:

Preferred majors:  Biolology, Chemistry, Cell and Moleuclar Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Physiology, Animal Science or any relevant field of degree.

Desired skills: Interest in handling clinical samples and animals would benefit the student for training. Experience in molecular biology techniques and immune cell assays would be desired.
