Research projects involve, but not limited to: i) the design and production of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-immune cells from pluripotent stem cells; ii) the lineage trajectory of an elite clone of CAR-immune cells at the single-cell level; and iii) the responses at the CAR-immune cells by tumor microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Applicants should have strong interpersonal skills, a track record of collaborative work in multidisciplinary research environments, and mastery of written and spoken English; and be able to work independently and in a collaborative team. Enquiries about the post should be sent to Dr. Rio Sugimura at <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:rios@hku.hk\" rel=\"no-follow\">rios@hku.hk</a>.

Dr. Sugimura is also a Principal Investigator of the Centre of Translational Stem Cell Biology at the Science Park, Hong Kong; and the Director of The Blood Engineering Lab (BEL). The BEL was established in December 2020 which hosts an interdisciplinary environment of cancer immunology, stem cell technology, and informatics. Though a relatively young group, the BEL attracted a wealth of external grants and international collaborations, and grew up to ten members within half a year.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The University only accepts online applications for the above post.
