The Dream3DLab

You will work within a multidisciplinary team at the forefront of advancing immune-oncology strategies for cancer treatment, using the latest developments in imaging and organoid technology.

You will be working with immuno-organoid co-cultures and BEHAV3D, a 3D dynamic imaging platform, we recently developed that leverages patient-derived organoid (PDO) technology.

BEHAV3D1 captures both inter
- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity in T cell targeting response and delineates their dynamic mode of action. In the proposed project, our objective is to advance BEHAV3D into a high-throughput (HT) technology and help develop a novel 3D phenotyping tool based on our previous work2 for evaluating target presence and therefore select upfront the most promising engineered T cell concepts based on target level of expression and spatial coverage. In our team, we value collegiality, enthusiasm, dedication, respect and reliability, which allow us to successfully reach our goals, while creating a stimulating and creative working atmosphere. We are also heavily present in all initiatives of Máxima related to Diversity.

Princess Máxima Center
