There will be a translational immune function analysis conducted in collaboration with the Immunology Department, Central Clinical School (CCS). Extensive infrastructure for molecular studies, immune assessment, flow cytometry is already established on the campus. Statistical support is also provided. 

We anticipate that this position will be supervised by Prof Con Tam (clinical), Dr Shaun Fleming (pathology) as well as a member of the Monash University Immunology Department co-located on-site.
