Postdoctoral Position: Red Blood Cell Immunobiology Location: Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Open Date: Jun 09, 2026 Deadline: The Mangalmurti Laboratory, in the Department of Medicine's Divison of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care, invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on evaluating red blood cells (RBCs) as a novel liquid biopsy platform for cancer detection and disease monitoring. This industry-sponsored project will investigate the biological basis, analytical performance, and translational potential of RBC-associated tumor DNA (rtDNA) as a new substrate for precision oncology applications. The laboratory recently discovered that RBCs rapidly acquire and retain tumor-derived DNA, revealing an unexpected role for RBCs in cancer biology and liquid biopsy. Emerging data suggest that RBC-associated tumor DNA may provide a sensitive and complementary source of tumor-derived genetic material that can overcome some of...

Postdoctoral Position in Diabetic Fracture Healing, FOXO1, Primary Cilia, and Regenerative Biomaterialsled Position Location: Penn Dental Medicine Open Date: Jun 02, 2026 Deadline: Open to applications from U.S. Citizens and foreign nationals A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Dana Graves, University of Pennsylvania, to study why diabetes disrupts fracture healing and to develop a new local therapeutic strategy to restore bone repair. This project builds on compelling data showing that lineage-specific deletion of FOXO1 in chondrocytes or osteoblasts fully rescues diabetes-impaired fracture healing, as measured by histology, microCT, and mechanical testing. We have also found that loss of primary cilia in these same skeletal lineages reproduces key features of diabetic fracture healing. Together, these findings point to a novel FOXO1-primary cilia axis as a central regulator of skeletal repair in diabetes. The successful candidate will...
