The Tai Laboratory at the Université de Sherbrooke is looking for graduate students interested in preclinical and translational cancer research, with a focus on immune responses in pancreatic cancer and viro-immunotherapy. We use a combination of immunological approaches, mouse models, and human samples to study cancer progression and develop new therapeutic strategies.
Our longer-term goal is to develop personalized cancer vaccines that can be translated toward clinical application. We are a highly collaborative and collegial team based at the Cancer Research Institute on the Université de Sherbrooke’s Health Campus.
We are located in the beautiful Eastern Townships, approximately 1.5 hours south of Montreal.
