The RF will be a member of Experimental Therapeutics Laboratory lead by Prof Boon-Cher Goh. The mission of the Experimental Therapeutics Laboratory is to identify new cancer biomarkers that could stratify high risk cancers for treatment interventions; and to develop novel therapeutic agents and delivery platforms to provide better treatment options for cancer patients. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a solid tumour whose aetiology is closely linked to EBV infection. While Prof Goh’s clinical team are actively conducting clinical trials on the different therapeutic agents and treatment regimens for NPC; the lab team are focused on understanding cellular and molecular changes that occur in the malignant cells and within the tumour microenvironment that contribute to cancer progression and development of drug resistance. The role of the RF is to develop cancer vaccines and therapeutics specifically for the treatment of NPC. The position is available from October 2021 onwards for 3 years.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Roles and Responsibilities</b></p>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To examine the role of identified target molecules in NPC cell survival and function; corelating results with patient sample data and clinical information.</li>\n<li>To design immunogens and explore the different platforms for vaccine development.</li>\n<li>To design and conduct experiments to test vaccine prototypes in vitro and in mouse models, focusing on but not restricted to\n\t<ul>\n<li>their efficacies in stimulation the immune system and characterising the cellular and humoral immune responses</li>\n<li>effects of vaccine on physiological functions, bone marrow function, thrombotic events etc</li>\n<li>Effects of vaccine in tumour-bearing mice</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>To design and test novel therapeutic agents when appropriate.</li>\n<li>To help supervise RAs and mentor PhD students.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Actions for interested applicants</b></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Please submit applications including</p>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>a covering letter that explains why you are suited to this post,</li>\n<li>a detailed CV, include education qualification, employment history, and research track record,</li>\n<li>the contact details (telephone and emails) of 2 referees.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Please note that only short-listed candidates will be contacted.</p>\n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Singapore","location1":"아시아","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://careers.nus.edu.sg/NUS/job/Kent-Ridge-Research-Fellow-%28Cancer-Science-Institute%29-Kent/4431844/","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Fixed Term","salary":null,"original_id":"UNI|280056","original_domain":"timeshighereducation.com","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/280056","original_isPremium":null,"closeType":1,"closedAt":"2022-03-04T00:00:00.000Z","requireEducation":10,"managerTel":"","managerFax":null,"managerEmail":null,"managerName":"NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":"Singapore","log_hit":2,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"del_yn":"N","createdAt":"2022-02-03T00:31:37.000Z","updatedAt":"2022-02-03T00:31:37.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":483,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"National University of Singapore","name_en":"National University of Singapore","name_alt":",","introduction":"<p>As Singapore’s flagship university and among Asia’s best, the <a href=\"http://www.nus.edu.sg/\">National University of Singapore (NUS)</a> offers a global approach to education, research and entrepreneurship, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise.</p><p> </p><p>Our 17 faculties across three campuses in Singapore – Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and Outram – provide a rigorous broad-based curriculum underscored by cross-faculty enrichment.
