1. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The lab of Tammara Watts, MD, PhD has an immediate position for a postdoctoral research scientist. The primary focus of the Watts lab is understanding the bi-directional signaling between tumor microenvironment mesenchymal stromal cells, cancer associated fibroblasts and tumor epithelial cells that mediate chemoradiation resistance. In addition, we have recently been awared NIH R01 funding within the cancer disparities space seeking to undertand the biologic basis for racial disparities in HPV-mediated oropharynx cancer.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Sarantopoulos Lab is seeking a B-cell enthusiast. We are using primary patient samples and mouse models to understand the role of B cells in anti-leukemia/tumor responses. For over a decade, the lab has studied B cell fate, function and dysfunction after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Our studies also aim to identify potential anti-tumor B cell activity in patients who have undergone SCT. We previously identified potential pathological roles for B Cell Receptor (BCR)-activated B cells in chronic GVDH that have led to clinical trials and we now strive to understand anti-tumor B cell responses.
