JOB DETAILS

Under the guidance of Professor Alan Melcher, we are seeking a creative and motivated Postdoctoral training Fellow to study ways to improve CAR-T cell therapy for breast cancer. We will use radiotherapy to enhance CAR-T cell access to solid breast tumour models in vivo and oncolytic viruses (OV) to improve anti-tumour functionality, including via the generation of ‘dual-specific CAR-T’, which target both the tumour-associated antigen, through their CAR, and the OV (eg reovirus, herpes simplex virus), through their own, endogenous TCR.
