What are the responsibilities and job description for the Post-doctoral fellowship position at National Institutes of Health and Careers?
Join the Laboratory of Integrative Cancer Immunology (LICI) at NCI to advance next-generation immunotherapies for brain cancers. Despite major progress in immunotherapy, patients with glioblastoma and brain metastases urgently need new options. The Terabe Lab investigates T cell–mediated tumor immunity to develop innovative treatments that push the boundaries of cancer care.
