Post-doc researcher in Immunology, Epigenetics of cancer IIGM ( is located at the FPO IRCCS Candiolo Cancer Institute, Candiolo, The mission of IIGM is to foster and develop excellence in human genomic research and education, with special reference to genomic variability in multifactorial diseases, with a strong focus on cancer. The institute provides high-level scientific education for PhD students, and access to state-of-the-art research facilities.
Gender Equality Plan : diversity is our legacy and our future. Be part of it. At IIGM diversity is an integral part of our culture and identity and for this we have adopted a plan for gender equality (GEP). We promote diversity and inclusion because we recognize that they are a source of strength and competitive advantage.
The Giovanni Armenise-Harvard laboratory of Immunity and Cancer, at the Italian Institute for Genomic Medicine (IIGM) and IRCCS FPO Candiolo (Turin), Italy, is seeking for a highly motivated Postdoc in Immunology and Epigenetics.
Research: The lab addresses fundamental aspects of immune responses, related to memory T cell differentiation and long-term protective immunity. This research aims to understand how T lymphocytes integrate complex environmental stimuli and translate these signals into specific epigenetic and differentiation programs, which specify T cell fate commitment and function. The research's goal is to use this knowledge to develop novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of cancer, immunotherapy and vaccine development.
To achieve these goals, we combine a variety of approaches, genetic and genomic techniques, including high throughput cell-based assays, multiparametric flowcytometry, single cell multi-omics and epigenetics tools, in the context of human cancer biology.
