Research Associate I, Merchant Lab

**Job Description**
The Merchant lab seeks a Research Associate with and interest in cancer biology and tumor immunology. Studies in the lab make use of mouse models to examine the tumor immunology, with correlation in human patient samples. The studies are part of an NIH funded project aiming to increase our understanding of resistance of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In addition to studying resistance mechanisms of NHL to chemotherapy and immunotherapy, the project will examine the utility of CAR T-cells in the treatment of NHL. The results from these studies will be used to design clinical trials to improve outcomes for patients with NHL.
Studies of the tumor microenvironment will be enabled using high dimensional flow cytometry, single cell RNA-sequencing, and imaging mass cytometry. Imaging mass cytometry allows for highly multiplexed (35+ markers) imaging of immune and tumor cells, with spatial information and subcellular resolution making ...
