Department Specific Functions
The Datta laboratory focuses on: (1) understanding how tumor-intrinsic transcriptional programs orchestrate immune suppression in the pancreatic tumor microenvironment; (2) deciphering and targeting the dominant tolerogenic myeloid cell-derived signaling mechanisms that govern T-cell dysfunction and stromal inflammation in pancreatic cancer; (3) using single-cell technologies to investigate the lineage trajectories of tolerogenic myeloid cells and their spatial habitats in the pancreatic tumor microenvironment; and (4) developing novel nanoengineering and tissue engineering strategies to abolish tolerogenic signaling from neutrophilic myeloid-derived suppressor cells in order to mitigate stromal inflammation and invigorate antitumor immune responses in pancreatic cancer. Our work has been funded by the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute with an NIH KL2 award, Stanley Glaser Foundation, American College of Surgeons' Franklin H. Martin Research Fellowship, Association for Academic Surgery Joel J. Roslyn Faculty Award, Society for Surgical Oncology Young Investigator Award, and the Elsa U. Pardee Foundation. Our science is currently funded by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Career Development Award, a Sylvester Transdisciplinary Science Pilot, and Department of Defense Idea Development Award (pending Fall 2023) grants. Our laboratory has recently published manuscripts in Cancer Discovery, Gastroenterology, eLife, and Oncogene, among others.

The University of Miami offers competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, tuition remission and more.
UHealth-University of Miami Health System, South Florida's only university-based health system, provides leading-edge patient care powered by the ground breaking research and medical education at the Miller School of Medicine. As an academic medical center, we are proud to serve South Florida, Latin America and the Caribbean. Our physicians represent more than 100 specialties and sub-specialties, and have more than one million patient encounters each year. Our tradition of excellence has earned worldwide recognition for outstanding teaching, research and patient care. We're the challenge you've been looking for.
Patient safety is a top priority. As a result, during the Influenza ("the flu") season (September through April), the University Of Miami Miller School Of Medicine requires all employees who provide ongoing services to patients, work in a location (all Hospitals and clinics) where patient care is provided, or work in patient care or clinical care areas, to have an annual influenza vaccination. Failure to meet this requirement will result in rescinding or termination of employment.
The University of Miami is an Equal Opportunity Employer - Females/Minorities/Protected Veterans/Individuals with Disabilities are encouraged to apply. Applicants and employees are protected from discrimination based on certain categories protected by Federal law. Click here for additional information.
