Job Summary/Duties: The laboratory of Dr. Susan Waltz in the Department of Cancer Biology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine currently has a postdoctoral fellow position open. The position is available under an Institutional T32 Training Program in Cancer Therapeutics sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and requires US citizenship or the applicant to possess a Green Card. The Waltz laboratory utilizes cutting edge genetic tools, including gene-targeted mice, to study the role of receptor tyrosine kinases and growth factors in cancer pathogenesis. We have shown that the Ron receptor tyrosine kinase and its ligand play fundamental roles in breast and prostate tumorigenesis. Our research into the mechanisms by which this receptor mediates cancer progression have revealed novel interactions between tumor epithelia cells and cells of the innate immune system (such as macrophages) which are linked through this signaling cascade. We have ongoing projects focused on defining the mechanisms coupling Ron signaling in tumor cells to cells in the tumor microenvironment with an emphasis on regulation of anti-tumor immunity. These projects would be ideally suited to a postdoctoral fellow with experience in murine tumor models, FACS analyses, immune cell manipulation, cell culture, RNA quantitation and IHC. Please check out the following website for additional details http://med.uc.edu/cancerbiology/labs/waltz-laboratory.Additional information or questions regarding the project can be obtained by email at susan.waltz@uc.edu.
