Postdoctoral Researcher in Tumor Virology and Cancer Immunotherapy
Postdoc @University of Pennsylvania posted 6 days agoJob Description
A Postdoctoral Researcher position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Jianxin You at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. Our laboratory investigates the molecular interplay between oncogenic viruses and their host cells that leads to cancer (Cell 117:349–360; Cell Host Microbe 19:775–87). We are also developing nanotechnology-based immunotherapies to elicit antiviral and antitumor immunity against human cancers induced by tumor viruses (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 117:13730–13739).
We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows to join our efforts in developing mRNA–lipid nanoparticle therapeutic strategies to target oncogenic viral infections and associated tumorigenesis.
