**Your position**

Tuberculosis (TB) claims more than 4,000 human lifes each day and approximately one quarter of the global population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). You are tasked to decipher the contribution of M. tb-specific B cells and antibodies to the orchestration TB-specific immunity. Not only the site of initial activation of M. tb-specific B cells, their trafficking and differentiation but also the role of antibacterial antibodies in mycobacterial lung infections are ill-defined. In this EU-funded project you will rely on somatic gene therapy approaches and innovative gene-targeted mouse models to overcome the aforementioned hurdles. These studies should help exploiting humoral immunity for the global fight against TB.
