Job Description
Postdocposition is available in the laboratory of Dr. Dorina Avram in the Department of Immunology and Immuno-Oncology Program at the Moffitt Cancer Center to study transcriptional and epigenetic regulators that control the programs of tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes. Through complex manipulations of these decision factors, the goal is to reach a state in which the persistency and efficiency of TILs are maintained, while the exhaustion is blocked. Such a state will make the TILs resistant to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. We use patient derived samples, genetically engineered mouse models, along with state-of-the-art molecular methodologies, including transcriptomics (bulk and scRNAseq), epigenomics, CRISPR-genome editing, multiplex immunofluorescence and spatial transcriptomics, with the ultimate goal to harness the immune responses for cancer therapies.
