Recruiting New Post-doctoral Fellows!
We are very excited to be able to recruit new graduate students and post-doctoral fellows for several ongoing projects in the lab. We have several exciting projects that are recruiting:
1) Development and characterization of biosimilar antibodies in collaboration with a Turkish Biopharmaceutical company. The recruited post-doctoral fellow will be responsible for tissue culture of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines and the characterization of the quantity and activity of the antibody protein these cells produce. The candidate will use flow cytometry and Biacore surface plasmon resonance machines to determine the affinity of the produced antibodies. This position is available at the Sabanci University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM). Candidates will not only have a opportunity to learn new techniques, but also will interact with and learn from researchers in industry and academia.
2) We have formed collaborations with various labs at Istanbul University Medical School, Koc University, Bogazici University and Acibadem University to develop new small molecule chemotherapeutic chemicals targeting cancer. The postdoctoral fellow working in this project will test new compounds inhibiting the interaction between p53 and MDM2 and MDM4. This project involves biochemistry (Biacore affinity testing), tissue culture (retroviral and lentiviral infections) and the use of the XCELLigence real time cellular analysis machine and the generation of xenograft models of cancer (human cancer cells injected into immunodeficient mice).
3)We are also collaborating with the laboratory of Prof. Koichi Ikuta on transcription factors that control the expression of the IL7R gene during T lymphocyte development. The postdoctoral candidate will perform a) genome editing with CRISPR/Cas9 and TALEN enzymes, b) will generate transgenic mice and analyze their immune system, c) will perform chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments with several candidate transcription factors. All positions will be funded by ongoing projects supported by TUBITAK. Sabanci University will also support some living expenses of our post-doctoral fellows.
4) We actively collaborate with Dr. Tolga Sutlu's lab at SUNUM on projects related to Natural Killer cells of the human immune system. Please visit their site for more on NK cells: http://myweb.sabanciuniv.edu/tolgasutlu/
If you are interested in these positions, please send your CV and a copy of your undergraduate and graduate transcripts (scanned version is OK) to batu@sabanciuniv.edu
