Postdoctoral Researcher in Immunology at Kobe Biomedical Research Institute

This postdoctoral position is based at the Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation in Kobe, Japan, focusing on translational immunology research. The successful candidate will contribute to developing innovative treatments for autoimmune diseases and cancer by leveraging recent breakthroughs in PD-1 agonist antibody therapies. The project builds on prior discoveries, including the development of the PD-1 agonist antibody ME3241, which is currently undergoing Phase I clinical trials. The role involves independent research under the guidance of a principal investigator, with a strong emphasis on experimental work and translational applications in medical treatment.

• Conduct independent research focused on developing therapeutic strategies for autoimmune diseases and cancer using PD-1 agonist antibodies.
• Perform experimental work in immunology, including antibody development, cell-based assays, and immunological analyses.
• Collaborate with the principal investigator to design and execute research projects aimed at advancing translational medicine.
• Analyze and interpret experimental data to contribute to the development of novel treatments.
• Present research findings at internal meetings and contribute to the publication of results in peer-reviewed journals.
• Maintain detailed records of research activities and experimental protocols.
