Context & project
Our team is part of the Immunology department (INSERM U932) headed by Dr Ana-Maria Lennon located in the exciting scientific environment of Institut Curie, one of the largest European institutions for cancer and biomedical research with strong interdisciplinary traditions.
Dr. Philippe Benaroch’s team (https://institut-curie.org/team/benaroch) is focused on myeloid cells that represent a very ancient form of cellular immunity against pathogens and tumor cells. Myeloid cells represent the first line of defense against many viruses. The team is studying some of the molecular mechanisms involved. Myeloid cells also shape the tumor microenvironment and are major players in immune resistance and/or evasion mechanisms. Myeloid cells have a great capacity to phagocytose tumor cells and stimulate the anti-tumor adaptive immune response. We aim to harness myeloid cell functional properties by genetic engineering and to use them as anti-tumor therapeutic agents.
The technician will work on the lab ongoing projects.
