Our Mission Our mission is simple yet profound: end cancer. We aim to improve and extend the quality of life for lung cancer patients worldwide.
Responsibilities
Perform molecular biology techniques, ex vivo and in vivo (mouse) studies to develop targeted approaches to overcome resistance to targeted therapies in oncogene‑driven lung cancer and develop targeted approaches for the treatment of brain metastases, with the goal of translating these findings to clinical trials for NSCLC.
Maintain animal colony and implement breeding schemas as directed.
Support senior staff in molecular biology techniques, ex vivo and in vivo (mouse) studies.
Document, analyze and interpret data for presentations, manuscripts, grant requirements (current or new), etc.
Participate in TORCH lab meetings, journal clubs and other relevant university oncology or immunotherapy meetings.
Education And Experience
Bachelor’s degree in biology, biological sciences, or related field and/or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Experience in molecular biology techniques and in vivo work with mouse models is required.
Requires successful completion of a background check; qualified candidates may be asked to complete a pre‑employment physical including a drug screen.
Desired Experience (Preferred But Not Required)
Previous experience working with animals and maintaining colonies.
Specifically, 5‑6 years’ experience in cancer biology and/or metabolism preferred.
Commitment And Teamwork
A strong willingness to work in a team environment is essential.
Contribute to TORCH with both expertise and insight into development of collaborative projects, improving upon and troubleshooting current projects.
