The Dixon Lab at University of Basel is seeking a highly motivated, creative and enthusiastic postdoctoral research fellow to study the peripheral nervous system in cancer. The role of intra-tumoral neurons is complex and still not fully understood. While some studies suggest they play a critical role in tumor progression and metastasis, others report that they may contribute to anti‑tumor immunity. Our lab is dedicated to understanding the innervation landscape of peripheral tumors and its role in immuno‑oncology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have a strong background in neuroscience and who have previously worked on cellular and molecular networks in the peripheral nervous system.
