Dr. Gerdemann's research lab is a young, dynamic and innovative laboratory embedded within the larger CTSI research community at Boston Children's Hospital, focusing on the mechanisms of cancer-directed T cell therapeutics, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered T cells.
Our research employs a diverse range of in vivo and in vitro models, including state-of-the-art non-human primate models of transplantation and CAR T cell therapy, patient-derived samples, and xenogeneic human-to-mouse cancer models to perform detailed mechanistic studies. This work has led to the identification of novel immune pathologies in CAR T cell therapy.
In addition to research responsibilities, the candidate will also serve as the lab manager, overseeing lab organization, inventory management, and ordering supplies, ensuring efficient daily operations. This role provides an excellent opportunity to develop higher-level management and organizational skills while contributing to innovative CAR T cell research.
Key Qualifications
The ideal candidate should have:
? Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a solid work ethic
? Ability to quickly learn new techniques and work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment
? Bachelor's degree (or near completion) in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, or a related field
? Research Assistant II applicants should have at least one year of relevant research experience
Preferred Experience:
This position offers an opportunity to work in a high-impact, collaborative, and engaging research environment, where you will gain hands-on training in cutting-edge immunological techniques. You will be part of a team dedicated to making a direct impact on pediatric cancer treatment through innovative CAR T cell research.
Compensation and job title will be commensurate with the candidate's qualifications and experience.
