You will use a range of molecular immunology and cell biology approaches to study therapeutic immune responses to liver cancer, driven by a new virus-based immunotherapy.\nAdvanced liver cancer is the fastest-growing cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and current targeted therapy extends life expectancy by only a matter of months. However, harnessing the power of our own immune systems – immunotherapy - is showing increasing promise for the treatment of otherwise incurable malignancies. Cancer-killing, or “Oncolytic” viruses are increasingly used to evoke therapeutic immune responses in cancer patients, an example of which is now commonly used to treat malignant melanoma in the skin. We have discovered that modifying a particular oncolytic virus to prevent its ability to replicate dramatically improves therapy in preclinical models of liver cancer, as well as promoting synergy with the targeted cancer drug, Sorafenib.\nThis four-year project, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), seeks to both optimise and understand how the modified virus co-operates with Sorafenib to evoke immune responses against malignant hepatic cells. In particular, it will explore the immunological mechanisms that distinguish effective therapy within both primary human liver tissue and preclinical models of liver cancer. We will employ a range of techniques spanning functional immunology, molecular virology and cell biology, histochemical and immunofluorescence tissue analysis, as well as next generation transcriptomics designed to discriminate immunological phenotypes. The objective will be to achieve comprehensive understanding of the fundamental processes by which host immune responses target liver cancers, as well as providing the foundation for future clinical studies exploring this novel therapeutic approach.\nYou will have a background in cancer/cell biology, immunology or virology, and an interest in applying that expertise to the study of tumour immunotherapy. You will join a team of researchers focussing on the mechanisms of virus-host interactions in the cancer field.\nTo explore the post further or for any queries you may have, please contact: \nDr Steve Griffin, Associate Professor\nTel: (+44)113 3438637, Email: <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:s.d.c.griffin@leeds.ac.uk\" rel=\"no-follow\">s.d.c.griffin@leeds.ac.uk</a> \nThe University of Leeds is committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offers a range of <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"http://hr.leeds.ac.uk/homepage/4/policies\" rel=\"no-follow\">family friendly policies</a>.

It was one&nbsp;of the first colleges in the UK&nbsp;for students of all faiths and backgrounds, set up to challenge the exclusivity of Oxford and Cambridge.&nbsp;Initially the college focussed purely on scientific studies before eventually introducing Classics, History and Modern Literature. This led the Yorkshire College of Science to become the Yorkshire College and in 1904, King Edward VII granted Leeds its own Charter as an independent institution.Today, the University of Leeds is among the Russell Group of research-intensive universities. It offers over 500 undergraduate and more than 200 postgraduate-degree courses. Teaching staff have been awarded 26 National Teaching Fellowships – more than any other university in the UK.With over 30,000 students – 5,000 of them international, from more than 100 countries – the university prides itself on being a multicultural and international institution.&nbsp;Its partnership with Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, China was the first overseas school to be set up by the University of Leeds and offers students a unique UK-Chinese engineering curriculum.The university is located on a single-site campus, just a short walk from Leeds’ vibrant city centre, with access to art galleries, museums, shopping and sports facilities, as well as green spaces.&nbsp;Leeds University Union offers over 250 clubs and societies and its students' union was the first in the UK to be awarded ‘excellent’ status by the National Union of Students (NUS) as part of its Quality Students' Unions accreditation scheme.A recent £520m has been invested into transforming its campus, which includes state-of-the-art sport and well-being facilities, a 25m eight lane swimming pool and the largest fitness suite of any UK universityLeeds alumni include the late historian Herbert Read, the singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae, and the astronaut Piers Sellers.","logoImg":"","logoImgSquare":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/sajdlkda_414175179581.png","homepageUrl":"https://www.leeds.ac.uk/","infoUrl":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/university-leeds","country":"GB","state":"West Yorkshire","location":"유럽","address":"171-173 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2 9JT, United Kingdom","phoneNumber":"+44 113 243 1751","faxNumber":"","type":1,"univType1":"대학","univType2":"대학교","univType3":"","univType4":"본교","establishedAt":"1904-01-05T00:00:00.000Z","count_majors":null,"count_students":null,"meta_competitiveness":"","publishState":1,"updatedAt":"2020-03-26T01:19:01.000Z","createdAt":"2020-03-04T11:13:07.000Z","default_1_bannerImage":null,"default_1_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_2_bannerImage":null,"default_2_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_3_bannerImage":null,"default_3_bannerImageMobile":null}}
