Project Description: We are looking for a highly motivated scientist to work on research projects funded by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI). The research projects are focused on the development of cell-based therapeutic systems using genetically engineered mesenchymal stem cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and bispecific antibodies (BiKEs) for cancer chemoimmunotherapy.

The stem cell-based therapeutic system is designed for targeted chemoimmunotherapy of cancer. The natural killer cell-based therapeutic system in combination with our newly developed BiKE technology is designed for antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).
