About the role
There is a unique opportunity for a Discovery Postdoctoral Fellow to explore the underlying biology of novel Radioligand Therapies (RLTs), including the effect of RLTs on the tumor and its stromal microenvironment.
The Discovery Fellow will have the opportunity to conduct innovative, interdisciplinary research and publish their results in leading journals. You will be part of our Oncology, Pharmacology team in Basel, Switzerland working very closely with Oncology Data Sciences.
RLT is a form of precision nuclear medicine which specifically directs radiation to target cells in the tumor. This cutting-edge technology has demonstrated remarkable promise for cancer patients, with two Novartis compounds- Pluvicto (177Lu-PSMA-617) and Lutathera (177Lu-DOTATATE) recently gaining approval in patients with mCRPC and GEP-NETs respectively. As a new and emerging modality there is still a lot to learn about how RLTs engage with the tumor and modulate its stromal microenvironment.
Preferred start date: as soon as possible (negotiable)
Duration: 36 to 48 months
Location: Novartis Campus, Basel, Switzerland
