You will part of the Inhibitory Receptor Lab that is led by Dr. Michiel van der Vlist and Prof. Linde Meyaard. The Inhibitory Receptor Lab is situated in Center for Translational Immunology in the UMC Utrecht and is part of the Oncode Institute. At the Center for Translational Immunology, approximately 200 people study immune responses in all their facets. We have a state-of-the-art flow cytometry facility, imaging facility and protein facility, and we are well connected to the department Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology.

In the Inhibitory Receptor Lab is a dynamic team that studies immune inhibitory receptors in health and disease. Our basic research line focuses on identification and characterization of inhibitory receptors, their ligands and mechanism of action. We have a strong translational focus to apply our knowledge in the clinic to cure patients. To foster this goal, research in our group covers the complete spectrum from academic basic to translational research, as well as public-private collaborative research. We strive for a diverse and inclusive working environment where we are kind to the person, but though on the data.
