Contexte de travail

The Laboratory is located on the Pasteur Hospital site, within the Faculty of Medicine. The team is affiliated with the Nice Institute for Research on Cancer and Ageing (IRCAN). IRCAN is a dynamic multidisciplinary institute comprising 17 independent research teams. The institute has state-of-the-art platforms in the fields of imaging, cytometry and genomic analysis.
The engineer will be assigned to the 'Normal and Pathological Angiogenesis' team under the supervision of Dr Gilles Pagès and will work closely with a researcher, Dr Maeva Dufies, an engineer, a PhD student and a post-doctoral researcher.
The team specialises in tumour vascularisation, treatment resistance and the development of new therapeutic strategies.
The team is composed of: 8 researchers, 2 postdoctoral researchers, 3 PhD students and 4 engineers.
