We are seeking recent M.D./ Ph.D./ or M.D. Ph.D. graduates to join a postdoctoral fellowship program developing approaches to clinically relevant molecular characterization of patient-derived three dimensional models of pancreatic cancer. The fellowship program is jointly advised by faculty from the Department of Surgery and Oncology as part of the Pancreatic Cancer Multidisciplinary Laboratory and the Pancreatic Cancer Precision Medicine Center of Excellence at Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. This unique opportunity will allow postdoctoral fellows to gain academic research experience with direct translational relevance and implementation of patient-centered clinical research projects. Successful candidates will have an interest in improving techniques in rapid tumor modeling and clinically-relevant characterization from patient-derived tissues. Our laboratory leverages high patient case volumes and an extensive clinical trials network to establish and maintain a large living biobank of patient-derived organoid cultures. These models are used to understand the key drivers that govern system behavior and to explore potential therapeutic approaches. We are currently using high-throughput technologies to characterize clinically-actionable genotype and pharmacotype in efforts to guide precision medicine initiatives. Additional opportunities for academic scholarship include techniques to study molecular biology of epithelial-cancer associated fibroblast interactions, microRNA gene regulation, and immunotherapeutic applications in pancreatic cancer. The laboratory maintains active collaborations with both intramural and extramural researchers as the lead site in translational research stemming from SU2C/Lustgarten foundation funded clinical trial NCT#03563248.Northwell Health / Zucker School of MedicineDate Posted: March 4, 2021

Our fellowship program is unique in its large complement of faculty with a 12:1 staff to fellow ratio. All members of our faculty are board certified in surgical oncology or allied fields and their collective experiences run the full gamut of complex general surgical oncology. This gives our fellows access to a diverse knowledge base and experiences, which serves to shape their own interests and career path. Each member of our faculty works closely with our fellows, performing rounds alongside them and meeting with them regularly to evaluate progress. Several members of our faculty were early adopters of robotic cancer surgery and have extensive experience performing every type of major abdominal operation in a minimally invasive fashion, including the Whipple procedure. As a first-year fellow expectations will be aligned with experience and comfort level, focusing more on the quality of participation and the growth in self-directed learning and initiatives. The first year will include rotations in gastrointestinal and HPB, breast, skin/sarcoma, peritoneal surface malignancies/gynecology oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and a research elective. The pathology rotation will take place bi-weekly and run longitudinally throughout the first year. Topics will be matched to the current rotation of the first-year fellow. The second-year fellow will be expected to exhibit progressive authority and responsibility as more of a team leader and will function as a mentor to junior house staff, using self-reflection and self-directed learning to improve the care of their patients. Throughout the two years of training, the fellow will move from conditional to more significant independence in the operating room. The second year will include rotations in head & neck/endocrine, and community surgical oncology/colorectal and breast practice. The remainder of the year will reserve four rotations for dedicated research time and six rotations for the pursuit of electives. This “super fellowship” is designed to allow fellows to choose areas for subspecialty training consistent with their future practice interests.MedStar Health|Georgetown UniversityDate Posted: March 3, 2021
