Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Cantor Lab

The Cantor lab is recruiting postdoctoral fellows to participate in a collaborative research program focused on developing immunotherapy-based treatments to prevent the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. The approach is based on the development and testing of novel immunotherapy agents on targets within the central nervous system associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease using genetic, biochemical, and cellular approaches for these investigations. Successful candidates will receive joint appointments at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Harvard Medical School. The program offers substantial scientific resources within a stimulating and collegial research environment.
