Join the Pediatric Immunotherapy Research Lab (PI: Leo Wang) in the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we use cutting-edge techniques to understand and engineer potent immune responses against pediatric cancers.

We are currently looking for a bright, ambitious, creative, and kind Staff Scientist with expertise and interest in fundamental immunology to join our group. We couple protein-focused molecular techniques with in vitro and in vivo disease models, as well as groundbreaking clinical trials, to understand how chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) signal and communicate with the endogenous immune system. We use this information to design solid-tumor targeted CAR effector cells with improved persistence and potency, as well as the ability to amplify the antitumor immune response.

As a successful candidate, you will:

·Design and lead projects focused on understanding and augmenting CAR T cell function in specific microenvironmental...
