**Description:** The Carbone Lab investigates how the immune system recognizes and eliminates cancer, with a particular focus on dendritic cells and their role in shaping anti-tumor immune responses. Our research aims to understand why some tumors are effectively rejected in response to treatment while others evade immune attack, and how these processes can be manipulated to improve cancer immunotherapy. This project focuses on the use of innovative in vivo murine tumor imaging platforms (e.g. STAMP, PMID: 37258670) that allow longitudinal visualization of interactions between immune cells and tumors over time. The primary responsibility for this position will involve conducting two ~3-hour in vivo imaging sessions per week and subsequent data analysis (with training in anesthesia, animal handling, and computational skills provided). Students will also have opportunities to learn about and observe diverse experimental approaches used to study immune cell recruitment, tumor progression...
