Job Title:

Post Doctoral Scholar## Department:

Medicine | Surgical Oncology
** Job Description
** The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) – James is the only cancer program in the United States featuring a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated comprehensive cancer center aligned with a nationally ranked academic medical center and a freestanding cancer hospital on the campus of one of the nation’s largest public universities. The Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology (PIIO) is a comprehensive bench-to-bedside research initiative focused on harnessing the body’s immune system to fight cancer at all levels — from prevention to treatment and survivorship.

Join our team!

Dr. Glen N. Barber in the OSUCCC-PIIO is looking to hire enthusiastic, self-motivated Postdoctoral Scholars to contribute to cutting-edge research. Projects in the Barber Laboratory include studying the innate immune regulator STING and its role in influencing inflammatory diseases as well as cancer, particularly the evaluation of novel STING-dependent adjuvants for the immunotherapeutic treatment of cancer. Additionally, they are developing new vaccine concepts to prevent infectious diseases and cancer.

The Barber Laboratory also works in the field of viral oncolysis, specifically the development of a novel vaccine to prevent and possibly treat Human T cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) associated diseases. This work involves performing experiments related to viral oncolytic therapies, manipulating and producing recombinant VSV vaccines, testing vaccination regimens, conducting T-cell proliferation assays, and performing antibody neutralization experiments using various mouse models.
