Dr. Glen N. Barber in the OSUCCC-PIIO is looking to hire an enthusiastic, self-motivated Research Senior Associate to contribute to cutting-edge research. Projects in the Barber Laboratory include studying the innate immune regulator STING and its role in influencing inflammatory diseases as well as cancer, particularly the evaluation of novel STING-dependent adjuvants for the immunotherapeutic treatment of cancer. Additionally, they are developing new vaccine concepts to prevent infectious diseases and cancer.
The Barber Laboratory also works in the field of viral oncolysis, specifically the development of a novel vaccine to prevent and possibly treat Human T cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) associated diseases. This work involves performing experiments related to viral oncolytic therapies, manipulating and producing recombinant VSV vaccines, testing vaccination regimens, conducting T-cell proliferation assays, and performing antibody neutralization experiments using various mouse models.
