What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Fellow position at City of Hope?
Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.
A Postdoctoral Fellowship position is immediately available in the laboratory of Dr. Christine Brown. One major area of research focus is the development of CAR T cell therapy for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and aggressive type of adult primary brain tumor. Ongoing projects include addressing the challenge of tumor heterogeneity to reduce the potential of tumor antigen escape, overcoming the suppressive tumor micro-environment to improve CAR T cell function, monitoring tumor trafficking, optimizing CAR T cell route of delivery, and improving CAR T cell manufacturing.
Other areas of interest include understanding the interplay between CAR T cells and the host immune micro-environment, functionalizing CARs using the meditope cyclic peptide technology and CRISPR/Cas9 modification of CAR T cells for improved functionality.
Your qualifications should include:
