The Olive Laboratory
Columbia University Medical Center
Our laboratory focuses on translational research and pancreatic cancer. We are working to facilitate the clinical realization of basic science principles in order to improve the care and treatment of pancreatic cancer patients. Our PI Ken Olive is an Assistant Professor at Columbia University and a member of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center. He has a primary appointment in the Division of Digestive and Liver Diseases in the Department of Medicine, and a secondary appointment in the Department of Pathology & Cell Biology.
Two postdoc positions open!
Position 1 - Precision Medicine
This postdoc will lead the scientific implementation of a brand new approach precision medicine that is based on the RNA of a patient's tumor (rather than on DNA mutations). Working in collaboration with Andrea Califano, Chair of Systems Biology at CUMC, the Olive lab is leading a large programmatic effort that will see the first clinical implementation of this concept in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. This position provides the unusual opportunity to directly impact the treatment of pancreatic cancer patients.
Position 2 - Cancer Immunotherapy
This postdoc will lead the basic research component of an innovative new clinical trial in pancreatic immunotherapy. This is a co-mentored position between Dr. Olive and Dr. Gulam Manji, an MD/PhD medical oncologist who leads the pancreatic cancer Phase 1 clinical trial effort at Columbia Presbyterian.

Our goals:
- make a meaningful, positive impact on the care of pancreatic cancer patients
- educate and train new scientists to tackle the cancer problem
- bridge the divide between medicine and science
- create a fun and productive environment where lab members can enjoy the processes of learning and discovery
