Your position

The successful candidate will work on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cancer-associated T cell exhaustion. The overall goal of this work is to delineate the metabolic heterogeneity of CD8 T cells in human tumors and characterize key metabolic pathways underlining the development of exhausted T cells. This knowledge will help to develop and implement novel strategies for cancer immunotherapy. Experimental systems include patient-derived tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), T cell cultures and murine tumor models.
