HRI Scientist

About the role

Dr. Liya Ding's laboratory in the Department of Immunology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is seeking a highly motivated HRI Scientist to join their research team. The lab focuses on investigating tumor-immune interactions to identify key regulators within the tumor's immunosuppressive microenvironment during tumor progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. The research employs advanced techniques, including tumor-immune cell co-culture, syngeneic and humanized mouse models, CRISPR screening, scRNA-seq, spatial biology imaging, and bioinformatics. Supported by grants from the NIH/NCI, DOD, and private foundations, the lab fosters a collaborative research environment. The HRI Scientist will conduct research on immune-tumor interactions, with a focus on immunosuppressive mechanisms in ovarian and prostate tumors. The role also involves contributing to preclinical studies that inform therapeutic strategies, collaborating with cross-functional teams on translational research, and mentoring junior scientists and students.
