RESEARCH ASSISTANT I at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center – Tampa, Florida

Summary

The Markowitz Lab is seeking a Research Assistant I whose skills and personal and professional experience have motivated them to contribute to our fight against melanoma.

The lab’s research focuses on the role of nitric oxide in the development of melanoma and its ability to facilitate resistance to melanoma treatments such as checkpoint blockade. Additionally, we are developing tools to predict which patients are likely to fail immune-based therapy via novel high-dimensional flow cytometric, mass spectrometric, and informatic techniques, allowing those patients to be treated with other, potentially more effective, therapies.

We are a translational immunology laboratory working to bring the knowledge gained in the lab via immune-based and traditional biochemical approaches to the clinic.
