Job details
As part of a Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR)-funded project, Dr. Maya Saleh’s laboratory at INRS Armand-Frappier Santé Biotechnologie Research Centre (AFSB) is seeking to recruit a talented post-doctoral fellow with experience in single cell transcriptomics, spatial multi-omics, and animal models of tumorigenesis to study the role of the innate immune system in glioblastoma.
The Saleh lab investigates the role of innate immunity (cells, pathways and effectors) and its crosstalk with the microbiome in tissue homeostasis and repair, chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer (Dupaul-Chicoine J et al. Immunity. 32, 367-378; Dupaul-Chicoine J et al. Immunity. 43, 751-763; Dagenais M et al. Oncoimmunology. 6, e1287247; Rodrigue-Gervais IG et al. Cell Host Microbe. 15, 23-35; Douglas et al. Cell Reports 2019; Giraud et al. Cell Reports 2024).
The project employs a wide range of cutting-edge approaches including scRNA-seq and spatial multi-modal analyses of tumors from mouse models and patients, genetic depletion in mouse models and biochemical validation approaches to identify novel targetable mechanisms of innate immune cells in glioblastoma progression, towards novel immunotherapeutic strategies.
