Job Opportunities

The Disease Imaging and Therapy Lab is seeking research technicians, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows interested in molecular imaging tools to understand tumor biology and response to therapies. We offer as many opportunities as possible to help you develop into a stronger scientist with precious skill sets in biochemistry, medicinal chemistry and radiochemistry.

To be considered for future openings, email your CV to Dr. Patricia Ribeiro Pereira.

Projects

Our lab develops and applies biomolecule-based strategies to deliver imaging or cytotoxic agents, and we leverage multimodal imaging to monitor the uptake and distribution of molecular-targeted compounds in vivo. We use acute and temporal pharmacologic approaches to modulate disease biology and investigate mechanisms of resistance. We aim to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other diseases through the development of novel tracers and antibody-based therapeutics.
