About The Position
Cedars-Sinai’s Sasine Laboratory in the Department of Medicine is seeking a Project Scientist to work independently and in cooperation with Principal Investigator Joshua Sasine, MD, PhD, making significant and creative contributions to research. The laboratory develops treatments for blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, MDS, and multiple myeloma, and investigates how interactions between cancer cells and the microenvironment affect cancer progression.
