Postdoctoral position on intravital imaging of tumor dormancy

A Postdoctoral Fellow position is currently available at Dr. Bravo-Cordero laboratory, in the Tisch Cancer Institute – Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Our lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms of tumor dormancy with emphasis on the role of the tumor microenvironment, using a strong combination of: microscopy techniques (in vivo multiphoton, confocal, light sheet microscopy), analytical imaging approaches, and molecular biology and biochemistry techniques.
