Descrizione dell'offerta
We are seeking a highly motivated young scientist for a Research Fellow (pre-doctoral) position within the Tumor Microenvironment Group.
Project overview
The successful candidate will contribute to a recently funded AIRC project investigating how the gut–prostate axis drives prostate cancer immunity and modulates response to anti‑PD‑1 immunotherapy.
The project combines in vivo tumor models, high‑dimensional immune profiling, microbiome analysis, and functional studies of myeloid cells to identify novel mechanisms and actionable therapeutic targets in prostate cancer.
Key responsibilities
- Perform in vivo mouse experiments and tissue collection
- Conduct multiparametric flow cytometry and immune profiling
- Contribute to microbiome and molecular analyses
- Analyze and interpret experimental data
- Collaborate within a multidisciplinary research team
