Engineer in cancer immunology research

A 12-month engineer position in Cancer Immunology is available in the Tumor Immunology research group led by Associate Professor Alexandre Corthay (www.ous-research.no/corthay) at Oslo University Hospital and University of Oslo, Norway.

The Tumor Immunology group investigates the interplay between the immune system and cancer with a main focus on two types of immune cells, namely tumor-specific T cells and macrophages. Our research vision is to increase the understanding of how the immune system naturally fights cancer to develop novel strategies for cancer immunotherapy. We perform both in vivo and in vitro experiments with experimental mouse models (for lung, colon and breast cancer), cell lines, and tumor tissue from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). https://www.ous-research.no/corthay/
