  • Research & Development: Investigate the use of anaerobic bacteria as a therapeutic agent for solid tumors
  • Experimental Design & Execution: Design and perform in vitro and in vivo (mouse) experiments, ensuring rigorous and reproducible results
  • Data Analysis: Analyze and interpret experimental data present findings at internal and external meetings
  • Collaboration: Work closely with a broader multi-disciplinary team, including molecular biologists, immunologists, and geneticists
  • Stay Updated: Maintain current knowledge of the literature related to bacterial cancer therapies and tumor biology
  • Publication & Dissemination: Contribute to high-quality research papers and attend relevant conferences or symposia

Requirements:

  • BSc in microbiology, life sciences, or related fields
  • Prior experience in research or clinical lab in microbiology and/or cancer biology
  • Strong understanding of tumor microenvironments, and the interaction between bacteria and human cells would be an added advantage
  • Proficiency in standard molecular biology, microbiology, and cell culture techniques
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Strong written and oral communication skills

Salary and benefits are commensurable to educational qualifications and working experience of the candidate. Benefits include annual leave, medical and flexi-benefits, etc.

Interested individuals should send their curriculum vitae and contacts of at least two referees to:
