SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Fellow: ­­­­­­­­­­Cancer Immunotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Cancer immunotherapy represents a paradigm shift in the management of cancer. Recent successes with antibody directed therapies for immune modulators such as CTLA4 and PD1/PDL-1 axis have altered the landscape of systemic therapy for solid and hematologic malignancies. Among various strategies to improve cancer immunotherapy\, epigenetic targets have emerged as prominent actionable targets to enhance anti-tumor immune responses and suppressing tolerogenic tumor microenvironment. Our laboratory is focused on mechanisms by which various epigenetic molecules impact the immune system to identify novel approaches to cancer immunotherapy. \n  \nAlternative approaches to enhancing cancer immunotherapy are to modulate immunologic consequences to existing cytotoxic therapy\, such as radiation therapy. More recently\, the concept of immunogenic cell death induced by XRT has been proposed. Immunogenic cell death is associated with release of HMG-B1 and ATP as DAMPs (damage-associated molecular pattern)\, which provides the “Danger Signal” required for effective adaptive immune responses. Surface translocation of calreticulin promotes antigen presentation by facilitating phagocytic uptake by dendritic cells (DC). We are therefore currently investigating how to promote tumor specific immune responses by radiation therapy. \n  \nPosition Highlights: \n\nInvolved mentorship by Dr. Kim\n\n\nGain knowledge base in cancer immunotherapy\, immune activation and tolerance mechanisms\, molecular immunology\nDevelop expertise in epigenetic regulation of the immune system\nTrain in in vivo and in vitro methodologies in immunologic research\n\n  \nThe Ideal Candidate: \n\nScientifically inquisitive and enthusiastic to learn new approaches\nCollaborate well with other researchers\nBackgrounds in immunologic research\nFamiliar with flow cytometry and molecular work\n\n  \nResponsibilities: \n\nRead and discuss relevant literature\nDesign and conduct experiments\nPresent at the lab meetings and scientific conferences\nResearch methodologies will mostly include flow cytometry\, confocal microscopy\, proximity ligation assay\, Western blot and other molecular work\, ex vivo and in vivo mouse studies.\n\n  \nCredentials and Qualifications: \n\nPh.D. or M.D. in Immunology\, Molecular Biology\, Cell Biology\, or Cancer Biology.\n\n  \nA competitive salary and benefits package will be offered to the successful candidate. Interested applicants should send a single PDF file that includes a current CV with recent publications\, a personal statement of scientific interests and goals (2-page maximum) and contact information for three references to Dr. Sungjune Kim at Sungjune.kim@moffitt.org.

SUMMARY:Postdoctoral Fellow
DESCRIPTION:The research to be carried out focuses on the micro-environmental and epigenetic regulation of disseminated cancer cell dormancy and metastasis initiation. The project will focus on the mechanisms by which signals from the micro-environment reprogram tumor cells into dormancy. The project will focus on identifying signals produced by organ specific macrophages that impinge on solitary tumor cell behavior and how it impacts the epigenome of the cancer cells. \nThe candidate should have experience in basic molecular and cellular biology methods including DNA and RNA isolation\, siRNA methods\, construct engineering\, tissue culture and preparation and analysis of samples through flow cytometry. The experiments will also require biochemistry techniques including Western blots and immuno-precipitations among others. These will focus primarily on ChIP-seq and ATAC-Seq when necessary. Expertise in code writing and/or bioinformatics will be weighed as a plus. Single cell RNA-seq will be part of the research efforts as well. The in vivo aspects of the work will entail growing human cancers and detecting single solitary DTCs using microscopy or single cell isolation tools\, metastasis in specific pathogen-free embryonated egg chorioalllantoic membrane system and performing experiments with transgenic mice and nude mice. Effort will also be allocated to immuno-histochemistry and immuno-fluorescence techniques. \nThe candidate will report directly to the PI and will collaborate with other postdoctoral fellows and students on other projects as directed by the PI. The Aguirre-Ghiso lab engages in trans-Atlantic\, regional and national collaborations and thus the candidate will have to be amenable to traveling when needed and interacting in a collaboratively and proactive manner with collaborators of the Aguirre-Ghiso Lab. It is anticipated that the candidate will be open to learning new techniques and methods that will fulfill the varying needs of research projects in the lab. It is anticipated that the postdoctoral fellow to be hired will maintain fluid and straightforward communication with the PI. It is expected that the candidate will maintain normal working hours with a presence in the lab during the majority of the working hours of the day and that any change in schedule will have to be approved by the PI and submitted with time in advance for approval.
