Motivated individuals with
strong molecular biology, functional
genomics and/or vector biology background
are encouraged to communicate with George Dimopoulos
for potential training opportunities as postdoctoral
fellows and visiting fellows. Selection is based on
credentials, motivation and funding.
The Dimopoulos Group
provides a dynamic, interactive and collegial
research
environment, with unique opportunities for
productive
scientists to realize their biomedical
career goals. Innovation and team work go
hand-in-hand in the exploration of
mosquito-pathogen interactions. Basic research
is inspired by translational goals that could
alleviate the burden of infectious diseases.
Emphasis is given to training, dissemination of
discoveries through high quality publications
and career development.
The
Department of
Molecular
Microbiology & Immunology (MMI) at Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
comprises 31 research groups and integrates a
variety of disciplines (biochemistry, ecology,
immunology, infectious diseases, molecular
biology, parasitology, structural biology,
vector biology, virology) concerned with the
study of the transmission, immunobiology, and
pathogenesis of infectious diseases of public
health importance. Affiliated research groups
study these disciplines at the population,
organismal, cellular, and molecular levels
through laboratory, clinical and field work.
The Dimopoulos Group is affiliated to the
Johns Hopkins
Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI)
which comprises 11 research groups working on
various aspects of malaria, including vector
biology, parasitology, immunology, ecology,
epidemiology, vaccinology, drug discovery,
structural biology and computational biology.
The intellectual environment is
thereby optimal, and in particular through the
vector biology groups that study various aspects of
mosquitoes that transmit pathogens.
