Tasks

  • Lead and execute a research project investigating the effects of pembrolizumab on mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming in macrophages in the context of penile squamous cell carcinoma
  • Establish and optimize advanced in vitro models using patient-derived penile cancer cells and human monocytes/macrophages, including monocyte isolation, differentiation, co-culture and conditioned media approaches
