FACULTY MENTOR Don Gibbons, MD, PhD The Gibbons lab in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology, MD Anderson Cancer Center, seeks to fill multiple postdoctoral research positions. Our research focuses on the mechanisms by which lung cancer evades immune system surveillance and becomes invasive/metastatic. We investigate several complementary areas, including:1) the role of the tumor cells in reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment,2) tumor cell-extracellular matrix interactions, and3) tumor intrinsic changes that facilitate tumor invasion and distant metastasis.

FACULTY MENTORJianjun Zhang, MD, PhD The Zhang Laboratory in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology, Department of Genomic Medicine, MD Anderson Cancer Center, seeks to fill multiple postdoctoral positions. We closely work with a multidisciplinary team, including medical oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, computational biologists, pathologists, etc., to obtain and analyze clinicopathological, molecular, and radiomics data to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of lung cancers with a focus on tumor heterogeneity in both cancer cells and …
FACULTY MENTORKeiko Akagi, PhD We are seeking applicants for a postdoctoral position of bioinformatics/computational biology in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology. We closely work with an interdisciplinary team to understand genomic, transcriptional, and immune alterations in cancer. Specifically, the goals of this project consist of integrating and analyzing bulk and/or single cell genomic, transcriptomic, and TCR repertoire data to determine the effects of genomic alterations, gene expression changes, and the tumor-immune microenvironment on clinical outcome. The postdoctoral …
FACULTY MENTORJonathan Kurie, MD The Kurie Laboratory in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology, MD Anderson Cancer Center, seeks to ll multiple postdoctoral positions. Our research focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which lung cancer cells generate a pro-metastatic tumor microenvironment, with three complementary areas of investigation: (1) a tumor cell-derived collagen modifying enzyme called lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2) that functions as a nodal regulator of brosis and immunosuppression; (2) Golgi-directed secretory processes driven by oncogene-induced transcriptional programs; …
FACULTY MENTORTina Cascone, MD, PhD A well-funded, dynamic and question-driven young lab at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center seeks to appoint one or more highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with a strong interest in cancer biology, tumor immunology and cancer immunotherapy and a desire to work with projects related to lung cancers. The successful appointee(s) will be working under the supervision of Tina Cascone, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Professor, physician-scientist in the Department of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology. …
