Basel, Basel-Stadt, Schweiz Universität Basel Vollzeit
The Department of Biomedicine is a joint effort between the University of Basel and the University Hospitals Basel.

It unites basic and clinical scientists to advance our understanding of health and disease and to develop pioneering therapies benefiting the lives of patients in areas of unmet need.

With more than 70 research groups and 900 employees, the Department of Biomedicine is the largest department at the University.

We are located in the heart of Basel across 6 different locations. Be part of our future
Prof. Beltra's group is studying the factors governing T-cell differentiation programs in settings of viral infections and cancers.

Notably, our group is particularly interested in identifying new pathways regulating the process of CD8 T cell exhaustion, an hypofunctional program acquired by CD8 T cells exposed to persistent inflammation and antigenic stimulation.

Indeed, CD8 T cell exhaustion represents a central limitation to current anti-cancer immunotherapies and strategies aiming at reversing this process are still lacking.

By exploring the intimate mechanisms regulating CD8 T cell exhaustion, our group aims to identify innovative opportunities to reverse this process and unleash the full potential of current cancer immunotherapies (e.g. PD-1-based therapy).

Using state-of-the arts murine models combined to cutting-edge technologies (single cell omics, ATACseq) and innovative immunological and genetic perturbation tools (Retroviruses, CRISPR), our group works on identifying new strategies for a better therapeutic manipulation of exhausted CD8 T cells.

Collectively, our group aims to lay the foundation for advancing next-generation cancer immunotherapies.
