Laboratory Technician

Models of Cancer Therapies group, VHIO
The Models of Cancer Therapies group led by ICREA Research Professor Laura Soucek is seeking an
excellent and highly motivated Laboratory Technician to join our multicultural and enthusiastic group on a
project supported by Fondo de Investigación en Salud, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, to study the role of MYC
inhibition by Omomyc as a new anti-Myc therapy in Melanoma. Knowledge of tissue culture technics
involving tumoral cell lines as well as molecular biology technics (Western Blot, qPCR, microscopy, plasmid
minipreps) will be favourably considered.

The group's main interest is the role of Myc in tumorigenesis and Myc inhibition as a valuable approach in
cancer therapy. Its main lines of research are (i) Myc-induced tumorigenesis, (ii) Myc inhibition and its
validation as cancer therapy, (iii) design and testing of clinically viable Omomyc-based Myc inhibitors, (iv)
development of pre-clinical models of cancer therapy and (v) Myc-induced cancer immune evasion.

The laboratory regularly works with several transgenic, syngeneic, humanized and patient
- and cell line
- derived xenograft (PDX and CDX) mouse models of cancer, including lung, glioma, breast, colorectal,
melanoma, Burkitt's lymphoma and multiple myeloma with a very translational approach as well as cell lines
cultures. The group's overarching goal is to bring Myc inhibition to the clinic.
