The Department of Surgery Tumor Immunotherapy Lab, led by Dr. Amanda Kirane at Stanford University, is seeking a talented postdoctoral scientist to join the research team. Dramatic advances have been made in the treatment of melanoma and other checkpoint-responsive cancers, however, overall response is inadequate and significant adverse event rate remains high. Currently, there are no reliable predictive tools in clinical use and mechanisms of resistance to standard checkpoint therapy are poorly understood. Our lab joins the intersection of basic cancer immunology, patient-derived modeling, biomarker assay development, and novel spatial computational interrogation to take an immersive approach to this problem. The goal of this program is to perform high-quality research that utilizing clinical and basic mechanistic data to develop immediately usable, predictive tools for clinical testing.
