The research group
The Cell Reprogramming in Hematopoiesis and Immunity group, lead by Senior Lecturer Filipe Peireira, studies how hematopoietic cell fate is specified, maintained, and eventually modified or reversed. Inspired from the fields of stem cell biology, immunology, and cancer we use an interdisciplinary approach to mechanistically understand hematopoietic and immune cell identities and translate our findings into novel gene and cell therapies.

We are a diverse group of molecular biologists, MDs, PharmDs, tumor immunologists, stem cell biologists and computational scientists – at all career stages. At the Pereira lab, we view science as an opportunity to have fun exploring the unknown, while making unique contributions to society. Our multidisciplinary approach gets inspiration from the fields of immunology, developmental biology, stem cells, cancer biology and bioinformatics, cross-fertilizing ideas and leading to new discoveries. This requires diversity and teamwork both within the lab and with our worldwide academic and industrial collaborators. We view cooperation and communication as the formula for great science and success, both as team and as individuals. The Pereira lab provides an environment where creative and highly motivated minds can strive.

Work duties and area of expertise
The successful applicant will work on the direct reprogramming of fibroblasts into plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). The aim is to uncover the specification programs of pDC commitment and explore their ontogeny and function. This will require a multifaceted approach to studying pDC-identity including various reporter systems for reprogramming, phenotypic analysis by flow cytometry, functional analysis by cytometric bead array, molecular cloning, etc. The successful candidate will also perform general laboratory organization and administration.
