OVERVIEW
The Cheng lab (https://thechenglab.com/) is looking for an enthusiastic and excellent Research Technician to join our dynamic and competitive group in human immunology research in the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at Academia Sinica, Taiwan. Our research focuses on dissecting human virus-specific T cells during viral infection, vaccination, or virus-associated cancer by using various cutting-edge technology platforms including multiplexed combinatorial peptide-MHC tetramer staining, mass cytometry, single-cell sequencing methods (Cheng et al., 2019. Science Immunology; Cheng et al., 2021. Immunity), spatial imaging techniques, machine learning, and high-dimensional analysis (Newell and Cheng., 2016. Nature Immunology). We are interested in investigating the different arms of human adaptive immune responses, and characterize their functional and cellular heterogeneity, particularly tissue-resident memory T cells and follicular helper T cells. We are currently working on chronic hepatitis B infection (HBV), HBV-associated liver diseases, chronic inflammatory disorders, and SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination.
