| Position Summary |
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology ( BMB ) seeks a postdoctoral research associate for the lab of Surinder Batra, PhD and Afshin Salehi, MD, MS, Assistant Professor, Department of Neurosurgery and BMB , University of Nebraska Medical Center. Dr. Salehi’s lab is at the forefront of research in brain cancer therapeutics. Our work focuses on developing and validating preclinical models for the treatment of neuro-oncological diseases. Dr. Salehi has pioneered a laser interstitial thermal therapy mouse model and previously studied blood-brain barrier breakdown in patient-derived xenograft mouse glioma models. His current focus is on engineering nanoparticles for more targeted laser therapeutics and exploring new drug discovery for pediatric high-grade gliomas using connectivity mapping. Additionally, we are actively involved in developing a new syngeneic mouse model for research. Our lab is dedicated to devising novel treatments for pediatric high-grade gliomas through new drug trials, the study of the tumor immune microenvironment, and laser therapies. The post-doc will be working on these projects, using new technologies |
