Creation and potentiation of a lipid-armored ovarian cancer vaccine

Are you passionate about cancer research and eager to make a significant impact in the field of immunotherapy? Join our team for a unique Honours project focused on enhancing the stimulatory properties of human Type I Dendritic Cells (cDC1s) using advanced mRNA electroporation techniques to combat ovarian cancer.

This project offers you the opportunity to:

• Explore Advanced mRNA Technology: Learn and apply state-of-the-art mRNA modifications to increase immunogenicity and improve dendritic cell functionality.
• Hands-On Laboratory Experience: Gain proficiency in electroporation, cell culture, T cell assays, flow cytometry and immune cell manipulation, essential skills for a career in biomedical research.
• Impactful Research: Contribute to groundbreaking studies aimed at enhancing the immune response against ovarian cancer, potentially leading to new therapeutic strategies.
• Collaborative Environment: Work alongside experienced researchers and clinicians in a supportive, interdisciplinary team at the forefront of cancer immunotherapy.

Join us in this transformative project where your research could pave the way for novel cancer treatments.
