Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Exploring mechanisms of action of vaccine induced protection against infectious diseases in humans

Job description
The project aims at unravelling the molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to long-term protection induced by vaccines. Early changes (hours and days) occurring at site of injection and distant sites following vaccine injection will be correlated to long lasting (beyond 12 months) induction of neutralizing antibodies and specific T and B cell memory. A particular focus will be made to the relation of immune response with vaccine antigen persistence in the organisms. Multiple omics approaches will be applied to different tissue compartments of animals vaccinated with the yellow fever vaccine (Stamaril) known to induce a remarkable durable response, to then inform the design of new generation of anti-poxvirus vaccines.
