Deciphering how B cell metabolism shapes Germinal Centre shutdown and its relation with immune system disorders
Deciphering molecular mechanisms controlling Germinal Centre (GC) initiation has attracted the attention of immunologists in the last decade, aiming to understand the stepwise immune response and improve vaccination strategies. However, while a deficient GC initiation can lead to immunodeficiencies, an overactivation of GC can lead to GC-derived lymphomas or autoimmune diseases. Therefore, in addition to GC initiation, the processes leading to the GC reaction and termination of the cellular expansion are also of high scientific and clinical interest. However, the mechanisms for this GC shutdown have been disregarded until now. In our laboratory, we have preliminary results showing that a specific metabolic profile in B lymphocytes triggers the GC shutdown. We are seeking a highly motivated and talented candidate interested in developing a thesis project focused on identifying the metabolic processes that trigger the GC shutdown. The candidate will have to analyze integrative ‘omics’, using mainly RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, metabolomics and proteomics sets of data generated in our laboratory or publicly available in different databases. We offer a fully funded position starting in December 2022 in an excellent and stimulating scientific environment in the CBMSO (Madrid).

Citrin and Aralar: Role in liver and brain metabolism
We are looking for two highly motivated canditates to start a thesis on mitochondrial metabolism. The candidates will join a proyect to characterize the role of the aspartate-glutamate carriers in different aspects of liver and brain metabolism and their impact on human health, through the use of transgenic mouse models and in vitro models. The contracts, funded by the “Programa Investigo de la CAM 2022 (Posts offers #32 and #75)”, will be carried out at the CBMSO with the supervision of Dr. Beatriz Pardo and Dr. Laura Contreras.
