Professor Claire Lewis

The successful candidate will work in the group of Professor Claire Lewis at the University of Sheffield in the UK. Her team studies the role of various macrophage subsets in the relapse of primary and metastatic tumours after various frontline forms of therapy (see: Hughes et al. 2015. Cancer Res; De Palma & Lewis 2013. Cancer Cell; Lewis et al. 2016. Cancer Cell). This exciting, new, PCUK-funded project will investigate the ability of targeted liposomes to eliminate relapse-promoting, perivascular macrophages in mouse prostate tumours. We hope that these pre-clinical studies will lead on to a clinical trial of this new treatment in combination with hormone therapy, radiation therapy orchemotherapy for men with prostate cancer. Applicants need to hold a good 1st degree and PhD in cancer research or immunology. S/he will have experience in cell culture, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry
and/or immunofluorescence microscopy, RNA and protein isolation/analysis and the use of mouse tumour models (including the harvesting/analysis of body tissues and fluids for analysis).
