Study of the Mechanisms that Regulate Mast Cell Activity:
Implications in Pathology

We are seeking an excellent academic candidate to join our immunology research group, with the aim of applying for competitive Spanish and European predoctoral fellowships.

The project aims to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate mast cell activity and their role in immune-mediated and inflammatory pathologies. Mast cells are central players in immunity, and understanding their regulation has direct implications for disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.
