The University of Lausanne is a research and higher education institution composed of seven faculties, here approximately 15,000 students and nearly 5,000 professors, researchers and staff work and study. Ideally situated along the lake of Geneva, near Lausanne city center, its campus brings together over 120 nationalities.
The group of Prof. Johanna Joyce at the University of Lausanne invites applications for a postdoc position. The Joyce lab investigates the microenvironment in which a tumor arises and the critical influence that non-cancerous immune and stromal cells can have on tumor progression. We have uncovered regulatory signals provided by the normal tissue stroma and immune cells to the cancer cells, and determined how normal cells can be modified by the cancer cells to produce a variety of factors that enhance tumor malignancy. Our group is also actively exploring the mechanisms underlying the contribution of the tumor microenvironment to therapeutic resistance. Our ultimate goal is to apply this collective knowledge to the clinic and develop targeted therapies that disrupt critical tumor-stromal interactions.
