The Geneva Translational Research in Infections and Vaccination (GeTRIV) platform is a joint project of the Faculté de médecine and the HUG, led by the Centre des maladies virales émergentes (CMVE) and of vaccinologie as well as by the VIH research unit. Its objective is to promote translational science in the field of immunovirology and vaccinology, by providing state-of-the-art laboratories, biobank facilities as well as shared offices and meeting spaces intended to welcome clinicians and fundamental researchers, in order to bridge the gap between fundamental research and clinical applications.

The GeTRIV is recruiting a clinical research nurse to work within its team on all projects conducted within the GeTRIV.
