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...
