About Postdoctoral Position
The Barry laboratory, within the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center’s Translational Research Program, is looking for a talented post-doctoral fellow with extensive expertise in the realm of tumor immunology. The Barry lab focuses on understanding how the immune system responds to cancer and can be manipulated to treat cancer. Our studies utilize human immunology, murine models of cancer, state-of-the-art imaging techniques, RNA sequencing techniques, and immunological techniques to explore the role of the innate immune system in controlling immune responses to cancer. We focus our research on understanding how the innate immune system, specifically dendritic and natural killer cells, shape immune responses to cancer and patient responses to common immunotherapies (see Barry et al., 2018 PMID: 29942093).

13. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
A major focus of our lab is to study how B cells and the autoantibodies they produce recognize and target tumor antigens. We’ve demonstrated tumor-specific autoantibodies can be excellent biomarkers of lung tumorigenesis and can be detected prior to diagnosis (see our recent publications in AJCCRM 2019, JNM 2022 and STM 2023, PUBMED#’s 30422669, 35483965, 36630482). Using our unique approach of capturing autoantibodies bound to their native tumor derived epitopes ex vivo, we’ve shown tumor-specific autoantibodies target posttranslational modifications with high specificity. With this knowledge, we’ve isolated posttranslational tumor-specific B cells directly from patients. Our goal is to translate these findings into antibody-based theranostic applications.
