We are particularly interested in those candidates who have experience developing novel molecular and cellular technologies that may aid therapeutics development. Successful candidates will have opportunities to collaborate with clinical colleagues in the Capital Medical University-Affiliated Hospitals and have access to a broad range of patient samples to conduct basic and translational research.
