The Analysis Group
The laboratory of Tumour-Immune Communication has been established in early 2024. We examine bidirectional interactions between most cancers cells and the host immune system utilizing artificial and molecular biology, genetics, and immunology. This analysis delineates how interplay dynamics between tumour cells and immune cells affect one another, contributing to our understanding of tumour development and antitumour immune response.
The Challenge
This undertaking is designed to grasp the interactions between tumour cells and immune cells utilising a wide range of tumour cell strains and genetic fashions, with a main however not unique deal with lung most cancers and lung metastases. Our laboratory is supplied to trace tumour-immune interactions on the single cell stage. The LIPSTIC system—Labeling Immune Partnerships by SorTagging Intercellular Contacts—is used to unravel the mobile communication throughout the tumour microenvironment, concentrating on the interactions between tumour cells and immune cells, in addition to between totally different antigen-presenting cells and T cells. The postdoctoral researcher will make use of superior genetic and molecular biology methods in addition to quite a lot of scRNA-seq to research the ideas that govern the dynamics of tumour-immune interactions, aiming to use this understanding to the event of most cancers therapies. The work will contain the examine of a variety of tumour fashions, with an emphasis on lung most cancers and different cancers that metastasise to the lung. The preliminary section of the undertaking will characterise the character of tumour-immune interactions throughout steady-state tumour development and after therapeutic interventions. Within the later levels, the undertaking is more likely to evolve into an in depth mechanistic examine of the interactions between particular immune cell populations and tumour cells. The final word purpose is to utilise the findings from these research to boost therapeutic approaches for most cancers.
The postholder might be accountable for:
Performing preliminary characterization of tumor-immune interactions at a single cell stage utilizing LIPSTIC and different cell-cell interplay tracing methods.
Understanding molecular mechanisms that drive tumor-immune interactions.
Manipulating tumor-immune interactions to boost antitumor immunity.
Postdoctoral Fellows will lead their very own initiatives, contribute to different initiatives on a collaborative foundation (each within the lab and with exterior collaborators) and should information PhD college students of their analysis. The flexibility to work in a crew is crucial.
