Postdoc in Cancer Immunology Location: University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine: Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Open Date: Jan 28, 2026 Deadline: Funding is available for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an NIH R01-funded research program investigating bitter taste receptor (T2R) signaling in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).
