The Department of Biomedicine, University of Basel, Switzerland, invites qualified candidates to apply for post-doctoral positions in Immunology and Oncology.
The candidate will join a multi-disciplinary team focusing on the development of new bioactive molecules targeting major signaling pathways in cancer and inflammation.
Main targets are stress kinases vital for metabolic control and immune checkpoint modulation in cancer therapy.
The working place of the successful candidate is the Department of Biomedicine at Mattenstrasse 28, 4057 Basel.
Your position
Ongoing projects:
i) role of PI3Kgamma complexes in allergy, metabolic control, obesity, diabetes and cancer.
