Job Summary
Research Post-Doc Fellow – Dr. Wolpaw lab – Childhood Cancer Research
Dr. Wolpaw’s laboratory in the Center for Childhood Cancer Research seeks to develop an understanding of how tumor heterogeneity and epigenetics impact inflammatory signaling and immunotherapy responses in pediatric solid tumors with a goal of developing more efficacious, less toxic therapies to treat these devastating diseases. Dr. Wolpaw is seeking a motivated, enthusiastic, and hard-working post-doctoral fellow (Ph.D., M.D., or M.D.-Ph.D) to lead a project focused on using murine models to investigate how neuroblastoma lineage heterogeneity impacts the tumor immune microenvironment, surface protein expression, and response to immunotherapy. This work builds on our recently published study in PNAS (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2102358119) and is fully funded by grants from the Department of Defense and the NIH.
