The Lab of Patrizia Agostinis is looking for a talented postdoctoral researcher in the vascular biology/melanoma The Agostinis lab () is part of the Center for Cancer Biology (CCB) of the VIB (Flanders Institute for Biotechnology; ) which is is a world-class life science research institute in Flanders, Belgium and the Cellular and Molecular Medicine () located at the KU Leuven, Leuven,
Our research goal is to unveil how key cell-fate decision networks in cancer cells and stromal cells model the tumor microenvironment, antitumor immunity, and We focus on key molecular mechanisms regulating cancer cell death, cancer-driven lymphangiogenesis, and T-cell responses controlling antitumor immunity, which can be harnessed to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy or new therapeutic approaches against We are particularly interested in understanding how rewiring of crucial homeostatic/metabolic pathways enables melanoma cells to resist spontaneous or therapy-induced cell death, and disseminate through the lymphatic system and the lymph nodes while escaping
Our overarching aim is to pursue highly interdisciplinary research, covering research at the molecular, single-cell, inter-cellular, and organism levels through innovative approaches that integrate spatial single-cell omics and translational cancer research, in order to bridge the gap between fundamental discovery in cancer research to novel clinical applications in cancer
We are looking for a highly motivated, well-organized and dynamic postdoc candidate with a high level of independence and creative thinking, who will perform basic/cell biology & preclinical research related to the main research focus of our
