About this position
Tokyo Metropolitan University’s Kawakami Laboratory is recruiting a fixed-term Special Research Fellow (postdoctoral researcher) or specially appointed assistant professor to join a project on infectious-disease control and age-related disease treatment through cell therapy and exosome therapy.
Working with Professor Hiroyoshi Kawakami and in cooperation with the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science, the successful researcher will contribute to the development of therapeutic approaches based on modified cells and exosomes. The project aims to improve the healing effects and functionality of therapeutic stem cells and immune cells, develop exosome-based treatments, and advance these technologies toward practical application. Related research includes cell- and exosome-based therapies for age-related diseases, including cancer.
Research activities may include the culture and evaluation of stem cells, immune cells, and cancer cells; recovery and evaluation of exosomes; fabrication of drug-delivery carriers such as liposomes; and bioinformatics-based data analysis. The researcher will work in the Applied Environmental Chemistry area of the Graduate School of Urban Environmental Sciences at Tokyo Metropolitan University’s Minami-Osawa Campus in Tokyo.
The opening provides an opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary research environment spanning molecular biology, biomedical engineering, biomaterials science, regenerative and therapeutic cell research, and translational medicine.
