Oncogenesis of hormone receptor positive breast cancer
The Buque Martinez lab studies hormone receptor positive breast cancer, specifically how targeting specific metabolic pathways can disbalance the tumor microenvironment, influence breast cancer risk development, and bias the response to immunotherapy, radiation and endocrine therapy-based treatments.
We are seeking a highly motivated Science Tech to join our team in investigating the role of the immune system and metabolism in breast cancer development and treatment. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with various preclinical models of breast cancer and employ a range of molecular biology techniques, including:

Requirements:
As one of the four original cancer centers to receive comprehensive designation from the National Cancer Institute, Fox Chase Cancer Center has been at the forefront of cancer research for almost 90 years. We are home to excellent research facilities, top clinicians and scientists, and outstanding patient care. Our singular focus on cancer, which couples discovery science with state of the art clinical care and population health, remains the foundation of our work.
The scientist training programs at Fox Chase Cancer Center provide professional development opportunities in four core areas identified as crucial for successful careers in science, research, and health care including communication, leadership, teaching, and mentorship. Upon joining the program, graduate students and postdocs develop individual development plans to help guide their growth. Training throughout the year is supplemented with free professional development opportunities, including a robust ‘How To’ series, writing courses, networking, mentorship, and teaching opportunities, a trainee-led seminar series, a trainee-led annual Research Conference, and more. Postdocs at Fox Chase Cancer Center are supported by the Temple University Postdoc Association and the Office of Academic Affairs at Fox Chase, and are compensated with competitive pay and benefits.
In addition to the robust training program, scientists at Fox Chase Cancer Center benefit from being part of the rich scientific and biotech environment in the Philadelphia region. Many of our former trainees are now employees (and contacts) at nearby institutions and companies, including The Wistar Institute, Merck, GSK, AACR, and numerous others.
If you are interested in being part of our team, submit your CV, cover letter and name and contact information for 3 references to [email protected]. Qualified candidates will then be invited to complete a job application.
