A postdoctoral position is available at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA, USA, for a candidate to explore the fast-developing and highly interdisciplinary field of immunobioengineering for adoptive T-cell therapy.
Using next-generation immunomodulatory synthetic materials, the postdoctoral fellow will develop new approaches ˆ’ beyond existing T-cell-based therapies ˆ’ to therapeutically manipulate the immune system against cancer. Dr. Matthias Stephan`s laboratory in the Clinical Research Division is working at the interface of bioengineering and immunology to enhance adoptive T-cell therapy against cancer using synthetic biomaterials (Stephan et al., Nat Med. 2010, Nano Today 2011, Biomaterials 2012).
Responsibilities
The postdoctoral fellow will fabricate stimulatory biomaterial devices, drug delivery systems and bioactive substances and test their therapeutic potential in preclinical tumor models of adoptive T-cell therapy. The FHCRC provides one of the nation's top programs for postdoctoral training, in an academic environment with clinical and translational research opportunities.
