Job description

  • Background of the recruitment and description of the project


    We are recruiting 1-2 postdoctoral researchers for the Sugahara Lab at Columbia University Surgery.

    The Sugahara Lab (PI: Kazuki N. Sugahara) focuses on the development of drug delivery systems (DDS) for tumors using peptides, as well as basic tumor biology research and translational research using clinical samples. We conduct a wide range of research from the development of novel tumor-specific peptides, such as the iRGD peptide we have been working on, to clinical applications. Our target is tumors in general, with a primary focus on pancreatic cancer. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about their work and enjoy collaborative environments.

    Key ongoing projects include:
    Development of novel cancer therapies using existing peptides like iRGD
    Analysis of the impact of tumor-specific peptides on the tumor environment, including the immune system
    Characterization of properties of unpublished peptides and related compounds
    Analysis of the role of tissue-penetrating peptide motifs in biological evolution
