Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.
Join Dr. Marcel van den Brink’s multidisciplinary team to explore innovative ways to treat malignancies using engineered cellular therapies. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD and/or MD degree interested in combining novel rational and combinatorial synthetic biology approaches with computational methods to develop strategies to improve CAR T cell activity. We aim to develop and mechanistically study novel cellular therapies with the goal of clinical translation. For more information about Dr. van den Brink’s research, please visit here.
- Lab's Philosophy: We foster a supportive and nonhierarchical lab structure with an inclusive work environment, promoting open communication, and valuing scientific curiosity and creativity in a collaborative environment.
