Lab and Research Technician 1-2 OR Lab Specialist, Pharmacology - Charlottesville, United States - University of Virginia
Description
The Martin Laboratory in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Virginia is hiring a Lab and Research Technician 1-2 or a Laboratory Specialist, depending on qualifications and experience of the applicant.
The Martin laboratory uses unbiased genetic screening systems both in vitro and in mouse models to address two main areas:1) Identifying targetable vulnerabilities in cells harboring genetic alterations in common cancer genes;
2) Understanding how cancer cells adapt to avoid death due to the immune system.
The long-term goal is to use these basic discoveries and translate their findings into therapeutic strategies to improve cancer treatments.
More information can be found here:
The overall goal of our research is to design therapeutic strategies that can specifically block tumor growth directly or by making tumors more susceptible to attack by the immune system.
