Summary
PhD scholarship in Cancer Immunology
Deadline: 25-Feb-2025
The Translational Cancer Immunogenomics (TCI) Research Group, led by Dr. Ángel Álvarez-Prado at the Department of Cancer Research of LIH, is currently offering a Ph.D. student position. Recently established, the research group focuses on understanding how genetic alterations in cancer cells shape the immune microenvironment of brain metastatic tumors, with the long-term goal of developing novel personalized immunotherapies for cancer patients with brain metastasis.
The TCI group works at the interface between immunology and cancer biology and combines the use of preclinical models of cancer and human samples with state-of-the-art technologies to profile the immune microenvironment of brain metastatic tumors upon different therapeutic interventions. They are looking for a highly motivated Ph.D. student to join their lab as part of the CANBIO2 Doctoral Training Unit (DTU). The candidate will join a young, creative and stimulating environment with direct supervision and mentoring by the Principal Investigator and opportunities for professional growth and direct involvement in research projects including national and international collaboration partners.
