We are always looking for the best way of searching for a job. It’s should be fast and effective. RSS Feed technology is an incredible tool for it!
Here is manual how to use RSS for searching a job. As an example i took “stem cell research” field, but you can apply the same scenario for any life science disciplines.
1. Learn more (read and watch) about RSS feed
2. Install RSS-reader (I use Google Reader) on your computer
3. I recommend to use 4 databases for the search: NatureJobs
type “stem cell” in search field –> search –> click “save this search as an RSS feed” –> copy this web address which will appear in your browser and paste in “add subscription” of your reader
I have always asked “how and why cells migrate in our body? how this process is regulated“? Back in medical school i learned about physiological migration of immune cells from bone marrow and within tissues. Chemotaxis - what a magical power behind cell motility within organism!! Later on, when I started studying biology of blood stem and progenitor cells, I realized that we don’t know much about how these cells migrate or home to the niche. At the same time, I realized that an ability to manipulate of stem/progenitor cells trafficking would be an incredible tool.
Pathotropism is an ability of progenitor/stem cells from the bone marrow to specifically migrate to pathological sites, such as an inflamed area or a tumor.
Steven Rosenberg has pioneered first clinical protocols of the adoptive cell transfer for treatment of advanced stages of cancer.
In 1988 he published results of the first adoptive cell transfer (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes = TIL) protocol used in 20 patients with metastatic melanoma.
So what has changed over the past 20 years?
You go to read and find out!
Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) using autologous tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes has emerged as the most effective treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma and can mediate objective cancer regression in approximately 50% of patients.
