The Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Stem cell biology, developmental leukemia, and immunotherapy group led by Dr. Pablo Menéndez. This contract is linked to the project proyecto CPP2022-009759 “Desarrollo de una terapia CAR-T dual dirigid a a CD1a/CCR9 para el tratamiento de la leucemia linfoblástica aguda de células T R/R”, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/ 501100011033 and European Union “NextGenerationEU”/PRTR.
Our group is interested in understanding the cellular origin, etiology, and pathogenesis of childhood leukemia. We aim to ascertain the cell in which mutations occur and we strive to discover which cells are responsible for triggering relapses. Furthermore, we work to identify new therapeutic targets and develop more targeted, less toxic therapies. To achieve this, our laboratory uses various approaches, including genetic studies, epigenetic techniques, and animal models, as well as adoptive cell immunotherapy tools.
