Offer Description

The project falls within the thematic scope of the IMMCEPTION team, dedicated to the study of the neural regulation of the immune system and various environmental factors that may impact it, including prenatal stress. It focuses specifically on atopic dermatitis, an inflammation of the skin with a pathophysiology involving both the immune and nervous systems. The candidate will be investigating the impact of prenatal stress on the development and functioning of these two systems, as well as on the associated neuro-immune interactions. The goal is to identify the underlying mechanisms orchestrating these potential disruptions following stress exposure.
