Immunotherapy Research Technician, School of Medicine-Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri
Opportunity expires June 11, 2020
Our ultimate goal is to develop new cures for cancer patients by modifying immune cells. CAR T-cell therapy has dramatically improved the long term survival of relapsed/refractory leukemia patients, demonstrating that we can achieve new levels of cure for aggressive and otherwise terminal cancers using this strategy. We are specifically working to extend this technology to a wider range of cancers. The laboratory focuses on designing and cloning novel CARs, introducing them into T cells and other immune cells, and testing their efficacy against solid tumors (currently pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, glioblastoma, and prostrate cancer).
Since the CAR T cell field is quickly expanding and is very competitive, we are seeking highly motivated individuals who are passionate and dedicated to developing these new cancer technologies. The position entails working with a small and dedicated group in the fields of immunology and cancer biology. The successful candidate will have relevant educational and practical experience in the laboratory, preferably with immunology, cell culture, or molecular biology experience.
