Responsibilities

The Postdoctoral Fellow will continue investigation of cancer nerve crosstalk in both breast cancer and pancreatic cancer

In both projects, the postdoctoral fellow will use tissue engineered models of the tumor microenvironment, conduct molecular assays and perform multiphoton optical redox imaging to probe metabolic status of cells real time

This person will also supervise current graduate students working on breast tumor innervation, given she has also gained experience in this area during his/her PhD tenure

In addition, this individual will learn to write federal and foundational research grant proposals and continue to hone her skills in supervising graduate and undergraduate students and developing multidisciplinary collaborations
