Analyses will involve identifying spatially localized cellular niches, characterizing immune and epithelial cell states, modeling cell-cell communication, and uncovering pathways through which host-microbe interactions influence tumor biology. The Associate Data Scientist in the Bullman Lab will assist in the computational analysis of spatial single-cell transcriptomic and proteomic data from patient tumors generated from platforms such as CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager.

The Immunology department at MD Anderson Cancer Center seeks to determine the fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms of a wide range of processes by which the body recognizes and eliminates pathogens and use these findings to unleash the patient's own immune system against previously treatment-resistant cancers. Treating the immune system rather than the cancer itself, the therapeutics developed are applicable to many cancers.
