Postdoctoral Position: Red Blood Cell Immunobiology Location: Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Open Date: Jan 05, 2026 Deadline: Description The Mangalmurti Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral position examining red blood cells (RBCs) as previously unrecognized regulators of innate immunity. The laboratory focuses on how RBCs participate in nucleic acid sensing, immune homeostasis, and inflammatory disease, with a long-term goal of translating fundamental red blood cell immune functions into clinically relevant applications. The lab made the seminal discovery that red blood cells express the nucleic acid-sensing receptor TLR9 and actively sequester cell-free DNA, redefining RBCs as active participants in innate immune regulation. Ongoing work integrates mechanistic in vitro systems, organ-on-a-chip platforms, clinical specimens from critically ill patients, and erythroid-specific PRR-deficient mouse models to...

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). This work focuses on understanding how G protein-coupled receptor signaling shapes macrophage behavior within the tumor microenvironment and how these pathways can be leveraged to promote anti-tumor immunity. Oral squamous cell carcinoma remains a highly lethal disease, with clinical outcomes strongly influenced by immune composition and macrophage phenotype within the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages play a central role in regulating tumor progression, immune suppression, and response to therapy, yet many of the signaling pathways governing...
