Are you ready to be a part of breakthrough research?

Principal Investigator, Joshua Sasine, MD, PhD is looking for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team!

The Sasine Laboratory focuses on two main areas:

• The communication between the bone marrow microenvironment and multiple myeloma, a cancer of antibody-secreting plasma cells.
• Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for pancreatic cancer and multiple myeloma

The Sasine lab has characterized paracrine factors that govern the biology of hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic cancers. Now, we are applying our expertise in this area to create biotechnology to intervene on these processes. To learn more about this important work, please visit the Sasine Laboratory website.
