In this Master thesis the candidate will have the opportunity to explore the destiny of passenger immune cells after solid organ transplantation in humans. Where do T cell go after they have moved their host within the transplanted organ? Do they stay or die in the transplanted organ or can they exit and distribute their immunological memory to other body locations within the new host? How do this passenger immune cells contribute to organ rejection? If you are interested in exploring novel concepts of transplantation tolerance with human tissues, this master thesis will be exciting for you.
