We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join our interdisciplinary team in the Division of Translational Oncology headed by Prof. Julia Skokowa. Our laboratory is dedicated to advancing the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of hematopoiesis, granulopoiesis, and leukemia development. We also develop innovative gene therapy approaches for hematopoietic stem cell disorders, with the ultimate goal of clinical translation.
Tasks:
- Design and conduct in vitro and in vivo experiments using gene-edited hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.
- Develop and optimize gene editing protocols for ELANE for therapeutic use.
- Evaluate safety, efficacy, leukemogenicity and off-target effects of gene therapies in preclinical models.
- Actively participate in the development of GMP-compatible protocols for clinical translation.
- Assist in the preparation of regulatory documents and collaborate with clinical and regulatory teams to support the transition to first-in-human trials.
