Created in 2005 by the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia) and the University of Barcelona, IRB Barcelona is a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence—a seal that was awarded in 2011.
The institute is devoted to conducting research of excellence in biomedicine and to transferring results to clinical practice, thus improving people's quality of life, while simultaneously promoting the training of outstanding researchers, technology transfer, and public communication of science.
Its 29 laboratories and seven core facilities address basic questions in biology and are oriented to diseases such as cancer, metastasis, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and rare conditions.
IRB Barcelona is an international centre that hosts 500 members and 45 nationalities.
It is located in the Barcelona Science Park.
IRB Barcelona forms part of the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) and the "Xarxa de Centres de Recerca de Catalunya" (CERCA).
IRB Barcelona is seeking an enthusiastic, motivated, and ambitious Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Colorectal Cancer Laboratory (led by Dr. Eduard Batlle) at the Cancer Science Programme.
The Batlle Lab at IRB Barcelona is an international reference for the study of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Their pioneering studies have contributed to advancing the state of the art in several important areas such as the connection between stem cells and cancer, the role of the tumor microenvironment in poor prognosis CRC, and the identification of mechanisms of metastasis and immune evasion.
Further information can be found at: Colorectal Cancer Laboratory and Eduard Batlle Profile.
The successful candidate will develop an exciting project aiming to understand immune-evasion mechanisms in metastatic CRC.
Our laboratory generated the first mouse models for metastatic CRC in a fully immunocompetent context and described a key role for TGF-beta signaling in immune evasion (Tauriello et al.
Nature.
2018; Cañellas-Socias et al.
Nature.
2022).
We are now interested in understanding how immune cells are reprogrammed in the metastatic tumor microenvironment over time.
The project will be in close collaboration with the laboratories of Ido Amit (Weizmann Institute) and Holger Heyn (CNAG) and will apply state-of-the-art technologies to track in vivo immune cell dynamics at a single-cell level.
