• Mingye Feng’s laboratory at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope National Medical Center is looking for a talented and highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow.
• His laboratory employs cutting-edge techniques to understand mechanisms of macrophages in cancer immunosurveillance, identify immune checkpoints and ligands on various hematopoietic malignant and solider tumor cells with high-throughput screening and protein engineering approaches developed in the lab, and develop novel cancer immunotherapies targeting metastatic cancer cells.
• Cancer immunotherapy is one of the most important breakthroughs in the development of cancer treatment approaches.
• As one of the largest populations of immune cells in human body and the major components of primary tumors and the metastatic sites, macrophages are key effectors mediating tumor immunosurveillance.
• Macrophage-based cancer immunotherapy is considered one of the most promising fields in cancer immunology and the next generation of cancer immunotherapy.
• The lab is well supported by multiple grants from NIH and other research foundations.
• All the research platforms have been well established in the lab.
