Dr. Jonathan Kaye, Ph.D. is seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist for the Research Division of Immunology | Cedars-Sinai, Department of Biomedical Sciences at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

The laboratory has a long-standing history of accomplishment investigating the molecular mechanisms that regulate T cell development and function. The laboratory uses murine models, including the generation of genetically modified strains, and takes advantage of access to human samples at Cedars-Sinai. Current work in the lab focuses on the investigation into the in vivo role, mechanism of action, and structure-function analysis of members of the TOX transcriptional regulator family (both within and outside the immune system and in cancer) and the development of therapeutics to target these proteins.
