Cancer immunology is now one of the most exciting frontiers in cancer research. In our lab, you will work on major research projects that investigate the dynamic interaction of immune and tumor cells with the goal of discovering novel therapeutic targets. Our lab focuses on the role of T cells, the major immune cell type that can detect and eliminate cancer cells with a high level of specificity. We are looking for a highly motivated Research Technician who will work with cutting-edge imaging technologies to study the immune microenvironment in human cancers and animal models. You will work with postdoctoral fellows in performing exciting research focused on molecular imaging. Specifically, you will work with cutting-edge technologies that enable imaging of many markers simultaneously to define cell communication in the tumor microenvironment. These projects will provide you with an exciting opportunity to learn how to conduct cutting-edge research and support your growth as a scientist.
