Lombardia, Milano

IFOM is an internationally recognized non-profit cancer research institute supported by the Italian Association for Cancer Research (AIRC) based in Milan within a highly dynamic urban environment. IFOM's continuous success is ensured by the recruitment of highly-competitive undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate researchers worldwide, with over 24 countries currently represented in IFOM. IFOM labs are hosted within a research campus shared with the European Institute of Oncology and the Italian Institute of Technology. IFOM is committed to creating a safe and inclusive work environment, based on mutual respect and on the enhancement of diversity, offering equal job opportunities to all qualified candidates. About the positionThe Laboratory of Advanced Pathology at IFOM, coordinated by Professor Claudio Tripodo, is seeking a highly motivated and skilled post-doctoral researcher to join our dynamic team.

Our research focuses on cancer biology, with a particular emphasis on the tumor microenvironment and cancer-associated hematopoiesis, employing cutting-edge experimental approaches and innovative methodologies. As part of the team, you will contribute to projects investigating how systemic hematopoietic alterations influence tumor progression and immune responses.

This role provides an excellent opportunity to explore fundamental questions in tumor immunology and hematopoietic dynamics, with the potential for translational impact. Department overviewThe Laboratory of Advanced Pathology at IFOM, is dedicated to studying tumor biology, with a particular focus on the mechanisms governing tumor heterogeneity and stromal tissue remodeling in cancer progression.

Through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates quantitative pathology, immunology, and cell biology, the lab examines the spatial and temporal dynamics of tumors within their native microenvironments.

Additionally, leveraging digital pathology technologies, the lab facilitates translational and clinical studies, enabling spatial multi-omics analyses and the integration of derived data to guide the development of new therapeutic strategies.

The Laboratory of Advanced Pathology focuses its research on how tumor heterogeneity and stromal remodeling influence cancer progression and therapy response.

The research program is organized into four main areas:Mechanisms of Tumor Heterogeneity;Stromal Tissue Remodeling;Immune Evasion and Tumor-Immune System Interfaces;Hematopoietic Adaptations in Cancer;Profile DescriptionThe candidate will be responsible for designing and performing experiments involving cell culture systems, including genetic manipulation and functional assays, as well as managing in vivo experiments in murine models.

Expertise in advanced flow cytometry, molecular biology techniques (RNA/DNA extraction, PCR, gene expression analysis), and immunophenotyping is essential. Language skillsProficiency in English and Italian for speaking and writing. Required skillsThe ideal candidate should possess hands-on experience with cell culture, murine models, and flow cytometry.
