Join the Laboratory of Integrative Cancer Immunology (LICI) at NCI to advance next-generation immunotherapies for brain cancers. Despite major progress in immunotherapy, patients with glioblastoma and brain metastases urgently need new options. The Terabe Lab investigates T cell–mediated tumor immunity to develop innovative treatments that push the boundaries of cancer care.
About the position
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to conduct cutting-edge research in tumor immunology and brain cancer immunotherapy. Under the mentorship of Masaki Terabe, Ph.D., fellows will work at the intersection of:
- T cell biology
- Cancer vaccine development
- Mechanisms of tumor immune evasion in the brain
- Novel therapeutic strategies for glioblastoma and brain metastasis
The Terabe Lab is part of the CCR at NCI—an institute known for world-class science, exceptional resources, and a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment. Fellows will have access to state-of-the-art core facilities and opportunities for collaboration across NIH.

Postdoctoral Fellow – Environmental, Molecular, and Genomic Epidemiology
There is limited understanding of the pathobiological mechanisms underlying how chemical compounds in the air and everyday consumer products influence lung disease and CVD onset. Dr. Wong leads epidemiologic studies to understand how these exposures -originating in the home, community, and workplace- influence disease pathogenesis through pathways involving DNA alterations. Dr. Wong is focused on identifying omics biomarkers of environmental exposures, disease risk, and genomic instability.
