We investigate immune regulation to combat graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and enhance graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effects. Employing advanced analyses and immune cell engineering, our goal is to translate discoveries into effective treatments for GVHD prevention and cancer targeting.
We seek a self-motivated growth-focused individual capable of performing intricate experiments to support projects in the lab under the direction of the Pl and/or experienced laboratory personnel. Further technical training opportunities range from basic to advanced immunology/molecular biology techniques including cloning, PCR, viral transduction, flow cytometry, bead-based and colorimetric assays, and RNA-sequencing. Dr. Mavers provides career mentorship, authorship to all contributing individuals, and potential opportunities for independent work.
Required Qualifications:
